Dillon, 26, and Vega Bear, 24, are both charged with Bull’s murder. Bear’s defence lawyer Brian Pfefferle appeared for his client as well on March 3. He waived Bear’s attendance and asked for an adjournment. At a Feb. 3 appearance, Pfefferle said he is in discussions with the Crown about a preliminary hearing and disclosure. Dillon and Bear are now scheduled to appear in Lloydminster Provincial Court April 7. Both are charged with second-degree murder. The charges against them haven’t been proven in court. Bulls’ murder is one of three murders in approximately two months that prompted Onion Lake Cree Nation to declare a state of emergency in January 2020 after the Nation experienced increased drug and gang-related activity.
Judge Kim Young asked the Crown what its position was on the requested adjournment. “She is making progress so that’s good,” said the Crown who wasn’t opposed to the adjournment. The Crown added there are new charges of breach of curfew on Jan. 24 against McAlpine. In connection to the Jan. 1, 2021, incident, McAlpine is charged with discharging a firearm with intent to endanger life, being an occupant of a vehicle knowing there was a firearm, and assault of a police officer with a weapon. McAlpine, along with Glynnis Larene Chief, Twaine Derek Buffalo-Naistus, Tyler Ryan Wolfe, and Danny Lee Weeseekase, were arrested on Onion Lake Cree Nation Jan. 1, 2021. They allegedly shot at Onion Lake RCMP who were pursuing the SUV they were driving on Onion Lake Cree Nation. One of the occupants allegedly pointed a rifle out of a window and started shooting at the police. Police continued to pursue the SUV, which eventually stopped in front of the high school on Onion Lake. All
