Update August 21, 2026
A teenager who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the shooting death of Drew Jack on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation has been sentenced to the maximum three-year youth sentence.

According to CTV News, Justice Catherine Dawson said the offence was serious and that the youth had a relatively high level of moral responsibility, but noted the shooting was impulsive and not planned. The teen had intervened during an argument before firing the gun.

With credit for time already spent in pre-trial custody, the youth will serve two additional years in custody, followed by a period of structured reintegration into the community. His sentence includes secure and open custody as well as community supervision. He is also banned from possessing firearms for 10 years after completing his sentence.
