One year later, the Saskatoon Police Service is renewing its request for public assistance in the 2021 homicide of Kelly Dean Quewezance.
In the early morning hours of August 22, 2021, firefighters were extinguishing a fire in the 600 block of Spadina Crescent West when they were approached by a passerby reporting an unresponsive man in the area. Despite lifesaving efforts, he died. An autopsy later confirmed the man, 39-year-old Kelly Dean Quewezance, to be the victim of homicide.
The investigation into his death is continuing. Investigators are asking anyone who knows something to say something; if you have information believed to be relevant, contact police directly at 306-975-8300 or submit a tip anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
The suspicious death investigation into a man found unresponsive in the early morning hours of August 22, 2021 on the 600 block of Spadina Crescent West is now being investigated as the city’s sixth homicide of the year. Following a completed autopsy, 39 year-old Kelly Dean Quewazance is confirmed to have been the victim of homicide; a cause of death is not being released.
The investigation into a second suspicious death that occurred in the early morning hours of August 22, 2021 is continuing with support from the Office of the Chief Coroner.

Early Sunday, August 22, 2021, Police responded to two separate incidents involving suspicious deaths.
Just after 2:00 am, Saskatoon Fire Department personnel were fighting a fire in the area of the 600 block of Spadina Cres. W. A passerby approached the firefighters and told them of a person laying on a ramp at the nearby skate park. When SFD personnel went to check they found an unresponsive adult male. Despite life-saving efforts the male died. Police believe foul play is involved.
At 3:30 am police were called to a residence in the 1200 block of College Drive after the body of an adult female was discovered. The death is being treated as suspicious.
Detectives from the Major Crime Section as well as the Forensic Identification Section are working on both investigations. No arrests have been made. More information will be released as it comes available.
Anyone with information on either of these cases is asked to contact the Saskatoon Police Service at 306-975-8300 or Saskatoon Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at www.saskatooncrimestoppers.com.
