Chris Fahlman has been charged with second degree murder in relation to the shooting of Tanya Myers on Highway 39 north of Weyburn.
Fahlman has also been charged with intentionally discharging a firearm while being reckless as to the life or safety of another person.
Fahlman was previously charged with manslaughter, careless use of a firearm, carrying a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence, and occupying a vehicle knowing there is a firearm inside. Those charges have been stayed and Fahlman appeared in Regina provincial court on November 12 on the new charge of second degree murder.
Tanya Myers was travelling with a friend on Highway 39 north of Weyburn on September 12 when a bullet entered the Ford Explorer they were in, hitting Tanya in the back and killing her. A second vehicle that was travelling close behind the vehicle that Myers was in was also struck by bullets that night.
Fahlman was arrested on November 1.
Fahlman is from Regina and owns a home inspection company. RCMP say Fahlman and Myers were not known to each other.
Chris Fahlman’s trial has also been relocated to Weyburn Provincial Court. Fahlman’s first appearance in Weyburn will be on December 9.
Fahlman remains in custody pending a bail hearing.
