Littlecrow was a father of five and originally from Whitecap Dakota First Nation. His death is being investigated as Saskatoon’s 16th homicide of 2019.

During a brief court appearance on Dec. 13, the teen stood in the prisoner’s box wearing a black hooded sweater and gazed into the gallery.

Near the end of his time before the judge, the teen called out to an onlooker “tell your mom I love her.”
