REGINA — Regina police have charged four people after an incident on Wednesday that left one man injured with a gunshot wound
Police were dispatched to the 1600 block of Rae Street on the evening of Feb. 2 for reports of a man in a vehicle allegedly with a firearm. A second dispatch call alerted police to a pair of individuals sheltering in a home a few blocks away, one reportedly with a gunshot wound.
The two were identified as victims of an incident, and a 42-year-old male was taken to hospital with critical injuries related to a gunshot wound. He remains in care at this time. A 30-year-old woman was also identified, appearing to have been in a physical altercation.
Investigation led police to stop a suspect vehicle several hours later near Badham Boulevard and Broad Street, where five people were arrested.
Four of those individuals were later charged in connection with the incident, and the fifth released.
Phoenix Sangwais, 22, and Aiden Jim, 18, have both been charged with attempted murder, in relation to the incident.
Sangwais is also facing four firearm possession counts and one count of breach of probation, in addition to charges of robbery and using a firearm in the commission of an offence related to a previous incident on Sept. 19.
Desiree Morin-Jim, 21, has been charged with assault, obstruction for providing a false name to officers and failure to comply with a release order.
Jacqueline Girous Kequahtooway, 40, is also facing four firearm possession charges.
Sangwais and Morin-Jim appeared in provincial court on Friday morning. Jim will appear in provincial court on Feb. 10 and Kequahtooway on March 23.
