A woman is in custody, but Saskatoon police investigators are still trying to sort out how a man ended up fatally injured inside a home on the city’s east side.

Alberto Guteirrez, a neighbour who lives two houses down from the scene, said he heard yelling from the home late Thursday and into Friday morning. A short time later, he saw police swarming the home, then someone being removed on a stretcher, he said.

“They were taking (out) this body.”

In a news release, police said officers were called Friday around 1 a.m. to the 1500 block of Preston Avenue South after a report of an injured man. The 29-year-old victim was taken to hospital by MD Ambulance, where he was pronounced dead.

A 36-year-old Saskatoon woman was taken into custody, but no charges were immediately laid.

Guteirrez and other neighbours said they woke to the sound of police cars and flashing lights on Friday around 1 a.m.

“It really freaked me out,” said Terri Jacobson, who lives a few homes down from the scene.
