LLOYDMINSTER – A man accused of killing Daxon Hornick-Schmidt has pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Lance Dwayne Littlewolfe will be sentenced in Lloydminster Provincial Court Dec. 2. He was originally charged with second-degree murder.

On April 17, Lloydminster RCMP had responded to a call of a deceased man on a sidewalk on 50 Avenue. The man was identified as Hornick-Schmidt.

Littlewolfe was arrested in North Battleford April 23.

An obituary for Daxon Hornick-Schmidt said he attended school in the United States, Canada and Germany, and was fluent in German.

Daxon graduated from North Battleford high school in 2014 and went on to attend Lakeland College with a desire to further his writing skills. He loved sports and played minor hockey in all three countries until he was 15. He also had a passion for music and spent a lot of his free time writing lyrics, rapping and recording.

Daxon’s first paying job was at the Boys and Girls Club in North Battleford.

His obituary said he had a soft and tender heart, “spreading love and light wherever he travelled. He saw the lonely, lost and marginalized in a gifted way that most people will never come to understand.”
