Regina police charge man in homicide investigation related to fatal police shooting
Regina police have made an arrest in a homicide investigation that was underway when an officer, dressed in plainclothes, fatally shot a 29-year-old man earlier this month. Police have now charged Bradley Gardiner, 19, with manslaughter and forcible confinement in connection to Regina's latest homicide, according to a Regina Police press release. Two weeks ago, on July 14, Regina police were called to the 3,000 block of 4th Avenue where they found the body of Brando Peji, 53. Police originally described Peji's death as suspicious, before deeming it a homicide the following day. Regina's Major Crimes Unit began investigating Peji's death and during that investigation, on July 18, two plainclothes officers verbally confronted a 29-year-old in the alley between Athol and Garnet streets. After issuing commands, one officer shot and killed the 29-year-old, according to a preliminary report by Saskatchewan's Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT). SIRT is an independent civilian-led unit responsible for investigating incidents where people are hurt or killed during interactions with police in Saskatchewan, and is currently investigating the fatal shooting. According to the report, the man killed was "wanted in connection" with the investigation into Peji's death. Police have not identified the 29-year-old man killed. Gardiner made his first appearance in court Friday morning.
