Police investigate Saskatoon's second homicide of 2025
38-year-old found dead in apartment building
Saskatoon police are investigating the city's second homicide of the year after a man was found dead in an apartment over the weekend.
At around 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, officers responded to a call in the 1400 block of Embassy Drive in the Holiday Park neighbourhood. They found a 38-year-old man dead inside the building according to a news release on Monday.
The Major Crime Section, Forensic Identification Section, and the Saskatchewan Coroner's Office are handling the investigation.
No further details have been released at this time.
This is a drop from year-to-year homicides in Saskatoon.
In the first weeks of April 2024, Saskatoon police were scrambling to deal with a cluster of homicides.
There had been five violent deaths in the first three months of 2024 and then, in a two-week span in April, three more homicides, including two in a 24-hour span.
Major crimes investigators have only handled one other homicide so far this year. It happened in January, and a suspect was arrested within hours.
