A male youth has been charged with aggravated assault after a shooting outside an apartment building in Lloydminster, Sask., around 10:38 p.m. on May 27.
RCMP say the victim has not yet been pronounced deceased and the Alberta RCMP Major Crime Unit has taken over the investigation. Cpl. Matthew Howell, public information officer for Alberta RCMP Media Group, told SaskToday.ca that if the victim passes away then there will be additional charges.
Lloydminster RCMP had responded and found the victim. Some officers immediately started life-preserving efforts while others searched for the suspect. EMS took over the efforts on the victim and transported him to the hospital. Cpl. Howell said the victim is an adult male.
The youth, who RCMP say is almost 18, was brought before a justice of the peace and remanded into custody. He is to appear at the North Battleford Provincial Court on May 30.
