Two people have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a February homicide in Saskatoon, police say.
The victim, a 48-year-old man whom police have not named, was found with gunshot wounds in the early hours of Feb. 17 at a home on the 200 block of Avenue I South, in the Riversdale neighbourhood.
He was taken to hospital but died from the injuries soon after.
Police told CBC at that time they were looking for a suspect who was known to the victim.
In a Thursday news release, the Saskatoon Police Service said they had arrested a 37-year-old man, who was wanted for breach of probation, on Wednesday.
He was later charged by the major crimes unit with first-degree murder in the February homicide.
Another man, 34, was arrested by Saskatoon police on Thursday, and also charged with first-degree murder.
Police did not release the names of either of the accused. Both were expected to appear before a justice of the peace Thursday evening, police said.
The major crimes unit is continuing its investigation, according to police.
