WEYBURN, Sask. — Christopher Fahlman has been committed to stand trial in connection with the September 2025 shooting death of Tanya Myers near Weyburn.
A preliminary hearing was held in Weyburn Provincial Court from Oct. 19-23. At the end of the proceedings, the presiding judge ruled there was enough evidence for Fahlman to stand trial. The inquiry was slated to continue until Oct. 30, but was concluded after the first week.
The evidence and testimony presented during the preliminary hearing will be covered by a publication ban.
Fahlman's matters are now in Court of King's Bench. The trial is to be by judge and jury.
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 was arrested in November 2025 and held in custody, even after a bail hearing. 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.
SaskToday will continue to monitor Fahlman's matters.
