A Saskatchewan First Nation man is facing three counts of second-degree murder in what authorities have described as a targeted triple homicide in Lloydminster last fall.
Sweetgrass First Nation resident Nakota Rayne Pooyak, 31, was charged Saturday in connection with the shooting deaths of Brent Peters, 66, Brennan Peters, 34, and Matthew Peters, 32.
A GoFundMe for the family of the victims has described them as a father and his two sons.
Emergency crews were called to a home on the Saskatchewan side of the border town, around 50th Street and 47th Avenue, for a wellness check on the evening of Sept. 12, 2024.
Responding officers found three people dead inside the home and called it a “targeted, isolated incident.”
The accused was scheduled to appear in court Monday in Lloydminster.
Lloydminster is 250 kilometres east of Edmonton, straddling the Alberta-Saskatchewan border.
