The deceased has been identified as a 28-year-old female from Pelican Narrows. The injured is an adult male. His injuries are now considered to be non-life-threatening in nature.
HIU officers are in Pelican Narrows speaking to witnesses and gathering evidence.
Investigators believe an altercation occurred at a residence between a group of individuals known to one another. The female was injured at a residence on Chachakew Street, then the male was injured minutes later, on the road that is in proximity to the local health clinic.
Investigators have confirmed the altercation did not occur in the clinic. Saskatchewan RCMP issued a dangerous person alert in relation to this incident as initial information indicated it occurred at the clinic and it was possibly random in nature.
