Lloydminster RCMP charge male with attempted murder
On April 14, 2024, at approximately 6:30 p.m., Lloydminster RCMP received multiple 911 calls for a disturbance at a apartment complex on 51 Avenue and 34 Street in Lloydminster. Upon arrival, RCMP members located a female with life-threatening injuries.
Immediate life saving measures were initiated by RCMP until EMS arrived and transported her to hospital. The female was subsequently airlifted to Saskatoon via STARS Air Ambulance.
The suspect was quickly located by RCMP on scene however, he refused to exit his apartment and a standoff ensued for the next 4 hours. The suspect eventually exited his apartment and was taken into custody without further incident. No officers or members of the public were injured during this event.
As a result of the investigation, 23-year-old Lloydminster resident Seth Johnson-Larose has been charged with multiple Criminal Code offences, some of which include:
- Attempted murder;
- Aggravated assault;
- Forcible confinement;
- Assault while choking; and
- Resist arrest.
After a Judicial Interim Release Hearing, Johnson was remanded into custody and will be appearing in Alberta Court of Justice in Lloydminster on April 23, 2024.
Although it is not recommended for the public to become involved in any violent incident, the Lloydminster RCMP would like to acknowledge and thank a good Samaritan who intervened in the assault and likely saved the life of the victim.
