It was 18 years ago that Saskatoon Police and paramedics responded to the 1600 block of 22nd Street West and found 23-year-old Hughie James Assiniboine dead. Emergency crews responded on the afternoon of May 5th, 2006. An autopsy confirmed he was the victim of a homicide. The investigation remains open.

When it happened, Saskatoon police reported that several people were being interviewed and it appeared that Assiniboine and another male had been involved in an altercation with several other people outside an apartment building. He was stabbed and then made his way to a suite and died a few minutes later. No suspects have been arrested, but police believe there may be people who have information which would help solve this case. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Saskatoon Police Service or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.
