Police later identified a man who was present in the house during an argument with Wahweaye. Police said Wahweaye was physically assaulted.

According to police, officers were unable to find the man in Regina. There was sufficient evidence to charge him with manslaughter and police requested a province-wide warrant.

The warrant was made Canada-wide when police learned the suspect was on remand in connection with other criminal matters in Alberta.

Police said, once the court matters in Alberta are dealt with, the warrant will be executed. The 28-year-old man will then be returned to Regina to face the manslaughter charge.

Regina police said they will release the name of the accused when the warrant has been executed and a court date is set in Regina.
