Police and paramedics were dispatched to the 1900 block of McIntyre Street just after 10:15 p.m. for a report of a man who was suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
Life-saving measures were taken at the scene by both police and EMS. Regardless, the 25-year-old victim was declared dead at the scene.
A death investigation began immediately, with the Saskatchewan Coroners Service confirming that the death was the result of homicide in the days following.
The investigation eventually led to a Canada-wide-warrant being issued for Ochuschayoo.
On July 10, he was located in the area of 3rd Avenue and Garnet Street. The two other suspects were arrested and charged soon after.
Ochuschayoo, Sangwais, and BigKnife made their first appearance in Regina Provincial Court Thursday morning.
