REGINA – RCMP have released the names of two men and two women killed last week on a First Nation in southern Saskatchewan in order to help in their investigation.
The victims are listed as: Tracey Hotomani, 34, and Terry Jack, 51, both of Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation, Sheldon Quewezance, 44, of Zagime Anishinabek, and Shauna Fay, 47, of Indian Head.
“We are actively investigating this tragedy to piece together the details of what happened — this takes time,” Insp. Ashley St. Germaine said Tuesday in a statement.
“We must be mindful that releasing more specific details could impact the overall investigation.”
The four were found dead with gunshot wounds in a home on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation, east of Regina, on Feb. 4.
Police said it appeared the home was targeted.
Shortly after the bodies were discovered, Mounties said they received reports of a man pointing a gun at people on Zagime Anishinabek, about 95 kilometres from Carry the Kettle.
Keagan Panipekeesick, 29, was charged with firearms offences. No charges have been laid in the deaths.
RCMP had said they were working to determine if the two cases were linked. They did not mention Panipekeesick’s name in Tuesday’s news release about the killings.
Panipekeesick made a brief court appearance Tuesday in Regina on the firearms charges. He is to make another appearance Wednesday in Broadview.
Obituaries for Jack and Quewezance say funerals for the men set for Tuesday — Jack’s on Carry the Kettle and Quewezance’s on Zagime.
An obituary for Fay says a celebration of life is to be held for her Saturday in Indian Head.
Jack’s obituary says he leaves behind a son, grandchildren and a special companion.
It says Jack often went by the nickname “Fats” and loved having friends over to play dice and cards. He also enjoyed hunting, was known for his teasing and gave nicknames to those around him.
Quewezance’s obituary says he leaves behind children, parents and siblings, and that family was everything to him. He was also a “prankster, spinner of tales and keeper of memories,” it adds.
Fay’s obituary says she leaves behind a son, parents and siblings, adding she was always on the move and loved playing guitar while singing with friends and family.
RCMP are asking people to share any information they may have about the investigation with police so officers can examine it thoroughly, said St. Germaine.
She added rumours can spread quickly.
“Please remember the loss the victims’ loved ones have experienced,” she said.
“Misinformation can impact an investigation by rerouting investigators in false directions. Investigations must follow evidence and our investigators are trained to do just that.”
