RED EARTH CREE NATION — A 24-year man died after police found him with stab wounds at a Red Earth Cree Nation home. He was bought to the home, injured, from a large social gathering.
Carrot River RCMP were called to the home on Aug. 21 at around 5:45 a.m.
RCMP said that upon arrival, officers found an unresponsive male, later identified as Brett McKay, who had been stabbed. He was declared deceased at the scene by EMS.
Police said their initial investigation revealed McKay was at a large social gathering in an open area, locally referred to as “the reservoir”, in Red Earth Cree Nation during the early morning of Aug. 21 and that he was driven to the home, injured, that same morning.
