A man has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a shooting that resulted in the death of Jordan Wright in North Battleford on Feb. 2.

Charged with first degree murder is 26-year-old Xavier Lonesinger of North Battleford.

In the evening of that day, North Battleford RCMP responded to a shooting at a home on 93rd Street and located Wright, who was later declared dead at the scene by EMS.

The police later discovered that two men entered a home armed with weapons, resulting in a confrontation where he was shot. The suspects ran away on foot, prompting police officers and Police Dog Services to search the areas.

After 11 months of investigation, officers arrested Lonesinger at the Saskatoon Corrections Centre last Saturday and charged him with first-degree murder.
