A 31-year-old man from Sweetgrass First Nation has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of three men in Lloydminster in September 2024.

According to a police release, on Sept. 11, 2024, Lloydminster RCMP discovered the three dead men with gunshot wounds in a house near 50 Street and 47 Avenue upon arrival for a well-being check.

The victims were Brent Peters, Matthew Peters and Brennan Peters.

Due to the serious nature of the case, the Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit took over the investigation and has been working closely with the Lloydminster RCMP.

“Since the beginning of this investigation, we have been committed to uncovering the truth and bringing those responsible to justice. This investigation involved countless hours of meticulous tenacious work, as well as collaboration with other RCMP and Municipal police agencies” said Inspector Dean Riou, OIC North Operations, K Division Serious Crime Branch, in a release.
