Lloydminster RCMP are asking for the public’s help locating a Saskatchewan man wanted in connection with a gang-related shooting that sent two men to hospital last year.

Police say they responded to Lloydminster Hospital on Nov. 10, 2025, after receiving reports that two males had arrived suffering from gunshot wounds. Investigators determined the injuries were non-life-threatening.
