WEYBURN, Sask. — The preliminary hearing is underway in Weyburn Provincial Court for Christopher Fahlman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the September 2025 shooting death of Tanya Myers.
The inquiry will determine if there is enough evidence for Fahlman to stand trial in Myers' death.
The hearing is scheduled to continue in Weyburn until Oct. 30. The evidence, testimony and other information provided during the session will be covered by a publication ban.
Background: Fahlman is charged with one count each of second-degree murder and intentionally discharging a firearm while being reckless as to the life or safety of another person.
He has been in custody since his arrest in early November 2025. His request to have the bail decision overturned was denied by the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal.
Fahlman was initially charged with one count each of manslaughter with a firearm, careless use of a firearm, carrying a weapon for the purpose of committing an offence, and occupying a motor vehicle knowing there is a firearm inside. Those charges were stayed after the two current charges were brought forward.
According to the RCMP, Myers was a passenger in one of two vehicles struck by bullets while travelling on Highway 39 the night she died. The RCMP says Fahlman and Myers were not known to each other.
