Friends of Saskatoon’s latest homicide victim are filling his Facebook page with condolences.
Bailey Lonechild will be terribly missed, friends write.
The 29-year-old died in hospital Tuesday after he was stabbed at a home on the 100 block of Avenue M South, according to police.
Friends initially confirmed to CTV News his identity as the city’s latest homicide victim of the year, and police later backed the information.
Lonechild is the same man sentenced to five years in prison plus time served for the 2005 stabbing death of Justin Sproat.
He was 18 when he was arrested for the fatal stabbing, and he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced in 2008.
A 25-year-old man, Curtis Kevin Morin, is wanted for second-degree murder in Lonechild's death, the city's second homicide of 2017.
