Police have arrested 26-year-old Brandin Brick, after issuing a warrant for him in connection with the death of a Saskatoon man earlier this week.

Police are looking for Brandin Brick, who they say is considered dangerous. (Saskatoon Police Service) James Chaisson, 28, died from his injuries on Avenue P S on Wednesday. Police have not revealed the nature of his injuries or the circumstances of his death, but they are investigating it as a homicide.

Police had said that Brick could potentially be charged with first-degree murder.

On the evening of Feb. 17, Saskatoon Police Service said Brick was found at the 1000 block of Matheson Drive and was arrested without incident.

Chaisson's sister Amanda Potts spoke out about Chaisson's death Thursday because she wanted the public to know what her brother was "an awesome person."

She says she tried to talk to him about not associating with gangs, but he always told her "you don't have to worry about me."

"My brother wasn't like another one — they call them gangbangers," said Potts.

"He wasn't just another thug. He was a very kind, generous person. He'd give you the shirt off his back."

James Chaisson, 28, died in Saskatoon on Wednesday. His family says he was a kind, generous person and loving uncle. (Submitted by Amanda Potts) Potts said Chaisson, who was known to his family as "JJ," was a loving uncle to many nieces and nephews. He spent his own childhood growing up in rural Saskatchewan, including a period when he and Potts lived in Borden, Sask.

"My mom's favourite — one of her favourite memories — is when we were living in Borden when we were kids and we got our tongues stuck to the railing outside in the winter," said Potts.

As Chaisson grew older, Potts said he spent more time living in Saskatoon.

She didn't approve of some of the things she heard about his lifestyle there, but said he was always there for her when she needed him.

Potts said she started to worry when she found a bulletproof vest inside a bag he left in her car.

"That's when I figured it was really bad," she said.

Over the years, Potts said her brother tried multiple times to leave his circle of friends by moving back in with his parents in rural Saskatchewan.

She said she was always "giving him crap" about the life he was leading in Saskatoon, but he would always brush off her concerns by telling her not to worry.

"I just assumed, you know, he'd grow out of it eventually and this would just be something that we could be, like, 'Remember when he used to be like that?'" she said.

"I thought he would grow up and have a family and grow out of all of that stuff because I've seen a lot of people do it."

Potts said she and her mom will remember Chaisson for the man they knew him to be: a kind protector who was always there for his family.

"He was someone's grandson and their son and their brother and their friend," she said.

"He was one of the best people you could ever meet, despite the lifestyle he was in."

Saskatoon police are still investigating the death.
