Arrest Made in 2023 Fatal Shooting of Security Guard at Pickering Casino
Police say a 20-year-old suspect was arrested on a Canada-wide warrant and will face second-degree murder charges in the case.
- Last week, Saskatoon police arrested a 20-year-old suspect in connection with the 2023 fatal shooting of security guard Michael Ferdinand at Pickering Casino Resort, Durham Regional Police confirmed on Monday.
- Michael Ferdinand, 34, was fatally shot while working at the casino near Church Street and Highway 401 on October 9, 2023; police withheld the suspect's name because he was 17 at the time of the shooting.
- Officers apprehended the suspect on the 3000 block of Meadows Parkway in Saskatoon, where a news release from the Saskatoon Police Service reports he was found with a loaded handgun.
- Arrangements are underway to return the suspect to Ontario to face charges, with Const. Nicholas Gluckstein of Durham Regional Police stating police "will pursue all available legal avenues" to ensure his return.
- Authorities had previously issued a Canada-wide warrant and offered a $25,000 Crime Stoppers reward in 2025, and the case remains active as they prepare for the suspect's court appearance.
