RCMP added that officers did not know if the two incidents were connected, but asked that people remain vigilant and exercise caution in the Zagime Anishinabek area.

Chief Scott Eashappie of Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation took to Facebook on Tuesday to notify the community a homicide had taken place.

In Eashappie’s Facebook post, made on Feb. 4 at around 1:30 p.m., he says one of the homes had a break-and-enter on the night of Feb. 3.

The post said, “We ask everyone to please stay clear as there has been a homicide on north side of reserve.”

He added that he was sorry to have to announce it on Facebook.

Saskatchewan RCMP said they would notify the public if there is any imminent risk for people and would provide an update as soon as they can.

In the meantime, Chief Eashappie asked for people to avoid the north end of the First Nation. “Please do not stop on the grid 606 for any reason. If you need to stop park on farthest side of edge of road.” As emergency vehicles need access.
