The man accused of firing the fatal shot that killed Tanya Myers outside Weyburn, Sask. last year will stand trial for murder. The proceedings will be held in Weyburn. A date has not yet been set, according to the courts. The accused, 43-year-old Chris Fahlman, faces one count of second-degree murder and one count of intentionally discharging a firearm while being reckless as to the life or safety of another person. On Sept. 12, 2025, Myers, 44, and a friend were approaching Weyburn on Highway 39 when their vehicle was struck by a bullet. Myers was fatally hit. A second shot struck a vehicle travelling nearby, although it led to no injuries in that instance. Fahlman has been in police custody since his arrest on Nov. 1, 2025, in Regina. He was initially charged with manslaughter, which was eventually upgraded. His arrest marked the end of a nearly two-month investigation and a period of worry and unrest in the Weyburn area. Fahlman applied for bail but was denied last year. He filed a bail review application, but that was dismissed by Saskatchewan’s Court of Appeal in July.
