Feb 19, 2025 | 2:45 PM

REGINA — RCMP say they have arrested a man and a boy in the shooting deaths of four people on a First Nation in southern Saskatchewan.

Mounties say 18-year-old Darrius Racette faces four counts of first-degree murder after two men and two women were found dead in a home on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation, east of Regina.

The boy is to be charged later on Wednesday.

Mounties had previously identified the victims as 34-year-old Tracey Hotomani, 51-year-old Terry Jack, 44-year-old Sheldon Quewezance and 47-year-old Shauna Fay.

Police have said the home was targeted.
