Weyburn police arrested three men—two alleged to have invaded a home, plus the home's resident—after an incident involving gunshots that led to the death of an 18-year-old man from Weyburn.

Officers were sent to the 300 block of 4th Street Northeast on Friday night after receiving a call about a home invasion involving firearms, according to a news release by Weyburn police.

After securing the house, police learned two injured men, aged 18 and 23, arrived at the Weyburn General Hospital.

Police went to the hospital and determined both men were suspects in the alleged home invasion, according to Weyburn Police Chief Marlo Pritchard. He said their injuries were related to a confrontation during the incident.

Pritchard confirmed gunshots were fired at the residence. He also said the 18-year-old succumbed to his injuries around 12:30 a.m. CST on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old man suffered minor injuries and was arrested, according to Pritchard.

Another 25-year-old man police believed to be involved in the home invasion turned himself into police around 10 a.m. Saturday morning.

Homicide investigation

A homicide investigation is currently underway as a result of the 18-year-old's death.

Pritchard said a 23-year-old man was in the residence when the three suspects went into the home. An altercation ensued and the 18-year-old suspect was fatally injured. As a result, the resident was arrested as part of the homicide investigation.

Pritchard said all of the men involved knew each other.

Despite the severity of the incident, Pritchard said he does not believe residents should fear for their safety.

"We believe that this is an isolated incident," he told CBC.

"We are not looking for any other suspects and the community remains a safe community."

However, he said the investigation is ongoing and police are still on the scene.

"We're still looking for anybody that may have information that can help identify the motive or the circumstances around it," said Pritchard.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Weyburn police or CrimeStoppers.

Charges are currently pending.
