A 24-year-old Regina man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison in connection with Regina’s first homicide of 2021.
Peyton Anthony Stevenson was initially charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Amber Dawn Wood on Jan. 16, 2021.
On Wednesday in Regina Court of King’s Bench, Stevenson pleaded guilty to the lesser included charge of manslaughter. A joint submission from the Crown and defence called for the 15-year sentence, which was accepted by the judge.
With credit for time already served, Stevenson will spend just over 12 years behind bars. He also was handed a 10-year firearm ban and was ordered to provide a DNA sample.
A court-ordered publication ban was placed on the names of Stevenson’s co-accused.
According to a Regina Police Service media release from the time, police and paramedics were dispatched to a house in the 700 block of Athol Street for a report of an injured woman. There, first responders found Wood suffering from a gunshot wound.
Paramedics took the 38-year-old from Bienfait to hospital, where she died a short time later.
