A sentencing hearing is to be held Nov. 19 in Fort Qu’Appelle for a 19-year-old man who killed a 17-year-old man on the Star Blanket First Nation in January.
Shauntay Keewatin initially was charged with second-degree murder in the death of the 17-year-old on Jan. 31. Keewatin pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter in Fort Qu’Appelle Provincial Court on Monday.
On Jan. 31, the RCMP received a report of an altercation at a home on the Star Blanket First Nation at around 8:35 p.m. Officers from the File Hills Police Service responded and found the 17-year-old dead inside the house.
Keewatin, who also lives on the First Nation, was arrested shortly after the victim was found.
