Chris Fahlman is facing charges of second-degree murder and intentionally discharging a firearm while being reckless as to the life and safety of another person in connection with the death of Tanya Myers, who was shot and killed on Highway 39, near Weyburn, on Sept. 12, 2025. (Facebook)
The Highway 39 incident
The investigation began on the evening of September 12, 2025, when the 44-year-old Myers was shot and killed while riding as a passenger in a black Ford Explorer heading towards Weyburn. An autopsy later confirmed she died of a gunshot wound. The driver of the vehicle, a friend of Myers, was not physically injured.
Days into the investigation, police confirmed a second vehicle, an SUV travelling closely behind the Explorer, was also struck by gunfire. The driver of that vehicle reportedly heard two “pops” and later found a flat tire, which forensic analysis determined was damaged by a gunshot.
The incident left the community in shock and disbelief, according to Weyburn Mayor Jeff Richards. The victim’s family released an emotional statement describing Myers as an amazing energy healer and animal lover, and pleaded for the person responsible to grow a conscience and take responsibility for their actions.
Through the courts
Fahlman was arrested in Regina at the beginning of November. His early court dates took place there before being moved to the Weyburn circuit. His preliminary hearing is set for October.
The application filed on Fahlman’s behalf was filed in Regina and acknowledged by the Court of Appeal in Regina. No date has been set for a hearing on the matter.
