A fourth person has been charged in connection to the killing of Michael Ross, Regina’s first homicide of 2026. Destin Doherty, 30, has been charged with indignity to a dead body and accessory after the fact to murder, according to the Regina Police Service (RPS) on Wednesday afternoon. He will make his first appearance in Regina Provincial Court on Thursday morning. Three others have been charged in connection to the killing. Earlier on Wednesday, RPS revealed that Shyla Keewatin, 33, was charged with first-degree murder and indignity to a dead body. Keewatin was scheduled to make her first appearance in Regina Provincial Court on Wednesday at 2 p.m. Both Doherty and Keewatin were arrested Tuesday evening. Steven Myslichuk, 37, has been charged with indignity to a dead body and accessory after the fact to murder. Kobe Samual Fiddler, 26, faces the same charges in addition to carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order and accessory after the fact to murder. RPS ended off its update by thanking the public for its help with the investigation. It encouraged anyone with information that could further assist the investigation to contact police. Shortly before 3 a.m. on Jan. 19, police attempted to conduct a traffic stop near Saskatchewan Drive and Albert Street. The driver fled police and eventually ditched the vehicle on the 1400 block of Princess Street. Officers found the body of 56-year-old Michael Ross inside the vehicle’s trunk, inside a hockey bag. An investigation led officers to a home on the 3700 block of Dewdney Avenue. Ross’s death represents Regina’s first homicide of 2026.
