A 15-year-old stabbing victim is loaded onto a stretcher downtown on April 8.
Posted: Apr 22, 2024 6:00 AM EDT | Last Updated: 7 hours agoIt was late afternoon on a Monday when the gut-stabbed teen collapsed on a bench in front of dozens of horrified onlookers at the corner of 21st Street and Second Avenue S.
Surveillance cameras that captured the incident revealed a confusing sequence that began with the 15-year-victim and a group of friends interacting with the accused in front of the Social Services building on Second Avenue.Some Saskatoon public libraries change hours in response to assault on workers
And it could have been worse. Veteran officers will say that the difference between an aggravated assault and a homicide can boil down to luck: a knife blade narrowly missing a major artery, a bullet just grazing the heart, a baseball bat breaking an arm bone instead of shattering a skull.Acting chief of police Dave Haye and Corey Lenius, the staff sergeant heading major crimes, made the rounds at media outlets trying to give context to the homicides.
Violence in the core neighbourhood is concerning enough that police did a special report for the Board of Police Commissioners on how it intends to address community safety. This could be as obvious as identifying abandoned houses where gang members will take kidnap victims to torture.
