A Canada-wide warrant was issued for a 17-year-old boy wanted in Smith’s death and police believed he had fled Ontario, possibly to Saskatchewan.
Pinehouse RCMP said a person matching the youth’s description was seen by officers Wednesday fleeing into the bush.
In a release late Wednesday after, police said the youth had been taken into custody without incident.
Pinehouse is roughly 515 kilometres north of Saskatoon.
