LETHBRIDGE, AB – A man from southern Alberta has been convicted in the death of a teenager.

In the Lethbridge Court of King’s Bench on Thursday, October 26, 2023, Dustin Big Bull, 40, of the Piikani First Nation, was found guilty of one count of second-degree murder.

He was charged in connection to the death of 16-year-old Tregan Crow Eagle in Brocket on July 27, 2020.

Court found that Crow Eagle had approached Big Bull with a knife and Big Bull then used a knife of his own to kill Crow Eagle.

He is next scheduled to appear in court on January 8, 2024. Lawyers are expected to discuss whether a Gladue report on Big Bull’s background has been completed.
