Second vehicle with damage
On September 13, 2025, RCMP received a report from a member of the public. They said they were driving on Highway #39 the evening of September 12 around 8:00 p.m. and may have been traveling behind the Ford Explorer. The person reported hearing two ‘pops’ that sounded like rocks hitting the windshield, but there was no damage to any windows. The person then noted their SUV tire was flat on September 13. They did not know if there was any connection to the ongoing police investigation, but due to the timing, wanted to report it.
The SUV’s tire was examined on September 15 by Regina RCMP Forensic Identification Section and it was determined the tire was damaged by a gunshot. Investigators have confirmed the SUV was traveling a close distance behind the Ford Explorer, passed it and continued towards Weyburn after the incident occurred.
The driver was unaware of the incident involving the occupants of the Ford Explorer on September 12. There was no apparent damage to the SUV’s tire September 12. The individual did not report any physical injuries to police. They do not know the occupants of the Ford Explorer.
Note: we are not providing any other specific details about which tire was damaged as this information is part of the ongoing investigation. We are also not identifying the person who reported this information to police.
We thank the public for reporting information and tips to police. If you have information to share, please call us.
