A Hobbema man will head back to court later this month on charges of second-degree murder of a teenager.

Lindsey Allen Bruno, 19, was in Wetaskiwin provincial court on Tuesday and will return to court on May 21.

Bruno was charged in connection with the death of Levonne Baptiste, 16, who was killed on Feb. 2 on the Samson Cree Nation reserve.

After responding to reports of shots fired, RCMP discovered Baptiste around 4:15 a.m.

An autopsy confirmed his death as a homicide.

The killing is believed to be the first on the reserve in more than a year.
