Oakes and Heathen have been in custody since they were arrested in July 2020. Onion Lake RCMP had responded to a report that a man was shot with a firearm. The victim was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries. Police say the suspects fled Onion Lake in a vehicle. About an hour later the vehicle they were in collided with another vehicle on 46 Avenue in Lloydminster. Police say that after Heathen and Oakes crashed their vehicle they allegedly pointed a firearm at someone in an attempt to steal a truck. They were unsuccessful and fled on foot. Minutes later, they allegedly fired two shots at someone inside a vehicle in a second failed attempted carjacking.
