A 48-year-old man is dead and a 21-year-old has been arrested, as Saskatoon police investigate the second homicide of the year in the city.
Officers were called around 6:45 a.m. Saturday to the 200 block of Avenue K North — north of 23rd Street — with a report of an injured man inside a home in the area.
When they arrived, they found a 48-year-old man dead from a gunshot wound, the Saskatoon Police Service said in a Saturday news release.
Police said they identified a 21-year-old man — who knew the victim — as a suspect and arrested him.
They did not name either the man arrested or the victim, nor did police say what the accused is charged with.
This is Saskatoon's second homicide of 2024, police said.
The major crimes and forensic identification units are investigating.
