REGINA — Shredek Samuel, charged with first-degree murder in the death of Roman Miller, will stand trial in Regina Court of King’s Bench.
Samuel appeared in Regina Provincial Court on Aug. 13, where the Crown and defence consented to his committal to stand trial. His case will be in King’s Bench court on Aug. 21 for a criminal pretrial hearing.
Samuel, along with Daniel “Juma” Drie Atem, is accused of fatally shooting Miller in Regina’s Centre Square neighbourhood on July 29, 2023.
According to Regina police, Samuel turned himself in to RCMP in British Columbia in February 2024 and was returned to Saskatchewan.
A Canada-wide warrant was issued for Atem in early 2024, and he was later added to the BOLO Program’s Top 25 Most Wanted list in April 2024.
That fall, BOLO expanded its efforts to locate Atem, including putting up a large billboard and offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Atem was arrested in Winnipeg in January 2025 and returned to Saskatchewan.
In January, Atem was sentenced to six months in custody after pleading guilty to trafficking fentanyl and cocaine in Regina.
Following a preliminary hearing in Regina Provincial Court in June, Atem was committed to stand trial.
