The preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing Tanya Myers near Weyburn, Sask., is scheduled for this fall. Chris Fahlman, 42, faces one count of second-degree murder in relation to the death of Myers, 44, and one count of intentionally firing a gun while being reckless to the life and safety of another person. Myers was fatally struck by a bullet while travelling in a vehicle on Highway 39 just outside of Weyburn on Sept. 12, 2025. She and a friend were returning from Regina when a bullet entered the vehicle. She later died at the scene. Fahlman’s week-long hearing in Weyburn provincial court is slated to begin on Oct. 21, 2026. The accused has remained in custody since his arrest in Regina on Nov. 1, 2025, following a seven-week long investigation by Saskatchewan RCMP. He was initially charged with manslaughter along with several firearms-related charges. However, the manslaughter charge was upgraded to second-degree murder two weeks later. Fahlman applied for bail but was denied.
