The death of a teenage boy who was found badly injured on the west side of Saskatoon is being treated as suspicious, police said. Saskatoon Police chief Clive Weighill said it is likely a homicide.

"That's two homicides within a two-week period here in Saskatoon," Weighill said. "Very concerning for us. That's why we're redeploying. That's why we're trying to get as many tentacles as we can into the community."

The details are unknown about the nature of the injuries. The situation unfolded in the 100 block of Avenue I N. on the city's west side at around noon Wednesday.

Witnesses said there was a badly injured teenage boy on the lawn, suffering from a serious head wound.

Police said the male was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The identity of the victim has not been released.

The investigation is ongoing.
