Working with the Saskatchewan Coroner’s Service, the Regina Police Service (RPS) confirmed Tuesday they are investigating their 12th homicide of 2021.
In a release, police said officers responded to a report of a weapons offence in the 1200 block of Rae Street Monday and arrived to find a deceased 16-year-old girl outside a residence.
“An injured male youth was also found at this location; he was taken to hospital by EMS with injuries described as serious,” the RPS release stated.
“Patrol members secured the scene and began the investigation, taken over by Forensic Identification, the Coroner and Major Crimes shortly thereafter.”
Due to Section 111(1), the identification of the deceased girl cannot be released as the Youth Criminal Justice Act prohibits publishing the name of a young person. The RPS has not yet made any arrests in the case.
Police and the Saskatchewan Coroners Service will continue their investigation.
The police are asking if anyone has any information regarding this case, to contact the Regina Police Service at 3066-777-6500 or through Regina Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
