UPDATE: Teen who died identified in Saskatoon’s 2nd homicide of 2020
A 17-year-old boy, who Saskatoon police were initially unable to identify, remains in hospital after he was found suffering from a gunshot wound on Saturday evening.
According to a statement, officers found the teenager when they responded to a 911 call in the 200 block of Avenue S N. shortly before 7 p.m. He was taken to hospital where he remains in critical condition.
Police initially didn’t know the identity of the 17-year-old. They later established his name, which is not being released to the public because he is a minor.
The Major Crimes and Forensic Identification units responded to the 911 call and are continuing the investigation.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 306-975-8300 and to ask to speak to a Major Crimes Investigator, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
