An autopsy determined that cause of deathwas blunt force trauma. Local RCMP along with RCMP Major Crime Services and the Winnipeg Forensic Identification Section investigated the homicide and have charged 18-year-old Tennessee Waylon Weedmark, also of the BloodveinFirst Nation, with 2nd degree murder and two counts of failing to comply with a recognizance.

Weedmark was remanded in custody and is to appear in court in Winnipeg on June 29, 2009.
