Craig Fox awaits sentencing for the second-degree murder of Lee Bearsears, a crime committed on October 15, 2023, on the Poundmaker Cree Nation. The Crown stated Fox engaged in “vigilante justice” when he fatally shot Bearsears in the back of the head. Details surrounding the events leading to the shooting remain limited, however, the prosecution characterized Fox's actions as an extrajudicial taking of justice into his own hands. Fox was convicted earlier this year following a trial. Sentencing will determine how long Fox must serve before becoming eligible for parole. The case highlights issues of justice and vigilantism within Indigenous communities in Saskatchewan.
