Volk pleaded guilty to first degree murder in October 2025 and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. His sentence also included a lifetime prohibition on firearms, along with a no contact order with the co-accused and Lunan’s family.

On June 10, 2025, Saskatchewan RCMP were called to a rural area near Grand Coulee for the report of a death. An investigation was launched, and the death was later deemed a homicide.

Lunan’s death was later determined to be caused by two gunshot wounds with a .22 calibre rifle.

He was 35 years old.

Grand Coulee is about 17 kilometres west of Regina.
