Resident Faith Marie Nichol made her first appearance in Moose Jaw Provincial Court on April 4 in connection with the death of a man on Stadacona Street West.
Nichol, 25, appeared in person in provincial court on Monday. The Crown opposed her release, so she will remain in custody until her bail hearing on Thursday, April 14.
Court documents show she is charged with a firearms/weapons offence, failing to comply with an appearance notice, manslaughter with a firearm, and possessing a firearm while being prohibited from doing so.
According to previous information, police and EMS responded to an incident on March 30 around 2:30 a.m. at a residence in the 0 block of Stadacona Street West. They discovered the body of a man whom they pronounced dead at the scene. Law enforcement’s initial investigation determined that the death was suspicious.
On April 1, the Moose Jaw Police Service announced more information about the situation. Police said the death of the 25-year-old male was a homicide after he was found with a gunshot wound at the apartment building. Officers arrested and charged two people with manslaughter, careless use of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm and breach of court orders.
“The investigation also led to the recovery of the firearm used in the offence. The deceased and the two charged (persons) were all known to each other,” police said. “This incident is not gang-related.”
Police say they will release more information once it becomes available. Anyone with information should call the Moose Jaw Police Service at 306-694-7600 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
