A week and a half ago, leaders in Pelican Narrows pleaded for help with what they called “ongoing and serious violence” in their community.
It came after two homicides in the community, including a shooting death on May 21. Jaden Custer, 26, was killed and Brett McCallum, 31, has been charged with second-degree murder.
On May 13, the remains of 16-year-old Jay’siiah Webb-Long of Ontario were found in a planned search, more than a year after he travelled to Saskatchewan and then went missing.
