Both the 16-year-old and Baker later died from their injuries.<\/p>\n
At the time of his death, Baker was the subject of a warrant issued by Regina police for being \u201cunlawfully at large.\u201d The police service said this was due to Baker breaching his release conditions, that included requiring him to reside at a specific address in Regina. He also had to abide by a curfew.<\/p>\n
