A lawyer for a North Battleford man accused of killing a former North Battleford resident in Lloydminster last month asked for an adjournment.
North Battleford Legal Aid lawyer Andrew Lyster waived the appearance of his client Lance Dwayne Littlewolfe in Lloydminster Provincial Court on May 31.
Littlewolfe, 35, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 24-year-old Daxon Levi Hornick-Schmidt of Lloydminster.
Lyster told the court he is waiting for a “significant amount of disclosure” from the Crown. Disclosure consists of the Crown’s case against the accused and usually includes search warrants, the charging document, details of the offence, audio/video and transcribed witness statements, statements from the accused, expert reports, exhibits, private communication intercept authorizations, evidence, and criminal records of witnesses and the accused.
The matter was adjourned to June 14.
Lyster waived Littlewolfe’s attendance in court. Littlewolfe remains in custody.
Littlewolfe was arrested in North Battleford on April 23 and charged with second-degree murder.
RCMP say that about 5 p.m. on April 17, 2021, Lloydminster RCMP responded to the 5300 block of 50 Avenue in Lloydminster for the report of a deceased man on the sidewalk. The RCMP Forensic Identification Section (FIS) and the RCMP Major Crimes Unit (MCU) assisted in the investigation.
An obituary for Hornick-Schmidt said he attended school in the U.S., Canada and Germany, and was fluent in German. He graduated from North Battleford high school in 2014 and went on to attend Lakeland College.
Hornick-Schmidt was involved in sports and worked at the Boys and Girls Club in North Battleford.
