On April 20, the Saskatoon Police Service took Dyson Irvin Sumner into custody.
Police believe Baker and Sumner were socializing with a group of people when an altercation took place, which resulted in Baker being shot.
Sumner has since been charged with second-degree murder, warrants for possession of a weapon, and three counts of failing to comply with conditions of a release order.
