The teen cannot be identified as per the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The accused made their first appearance in court Monday morning.

In an email to CTV News, RCMP said it will not be releasing the teenager’s gender or age because it could contribute to them being publicly identified.

“Although Regina is a large community, the specific details of the investigation, paired with specific age details, increases the likelihood of the accused being identified in this instance,” RCMP said in the email.

The accused was remanded in custody until their next appearance on Thursday, after being reminded of their no contact order - which includes several individuals.

They are also in the process of seeking legal aid.

Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation is located about 100 kilometres east of Regina.
