Police charged a 37-year-old man with first-degree murder in connection with the death of a 24-year-old Regina earlier this month.
Regina’s Percy Bernard Pascal also faces charges of possession of a firearm and non-compliance.
According to a statement, Regina Police and Fire and Protective Services (RFPS) were dispatched at approximately 10:50 a.m. on Dec. 16 to the 1400 block of Cameron Street for a report of a house fire.
“After extinguishing the fire, the firefighters discovered a deceased person and the investigation changed to include a death investigation by the police and the coroner,” police said. “The investigation of the matter determined that the death was the consequence of a homicide.”
Police identified the victim as 24-year-old Morgan Blind de Regina.
Pascal appeared in Regina provincial court on these charges Thursday.
