Three 15-year-olds have been charged with first-degree murder in relation to the homicide of 16-year-old Carter SPIVAK-VILLENEUVE, which occurred in August 2025.
At approximately 1:20 a.m., on Friday, Aug. 1, 2025, we were called to the 300 block of Abergale Drive N.E., for reports of a person in medical distress. Upon arrival, officers located a deceased male, who was later identified as 16-year-old Carter SPIVAK-VILLENEUVE. An autopsy confirmed that Carter died as a result of a homicide.
Following an extensive investigation, detectives identified several potential suspects, all youth, who were believed to have involvement in Carter’s death. Although the investigation remains ongoing, at this time, it is believed that the suspects were known to Carter and that they had arranged to meet Carter that night. Carter’s death is alleged to be the result of an ongoing dispute.
On Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, with the assistance of the RCMP, a 15-year-old male was arrested on the Muskowekwan First Nation in Saskatchewan. He has now been charged with one count of first-degree murder and will next appear in court in Calgary tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 14, 2025.
Yesterday, Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, one 15-year-old male was arrested in Calgary, and charged with one count of first-degree murder. He appeared in court today, Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025.
A third 15-year-old male was also taken into custody and has now been charged with one count of first-degree murder. He will next appear in court on Monday, Nov. 17, 2025.
The youths cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
“The ages of those involved in this case are deeply troubling,” says Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson of the CPS Homicide Unit. “The loss of Carter is a devastating reminder of how seemingly insignificant conflict between youth can escalate with irreversible consequences. Carter’s death was senseless and the lives of everyone involved have now been forever changed.”
