Family of Ashlee Shingoose delivers tearful victim-impact statement

The family and community of a First Nations woman murdered by a serial killer in early 2022 addressed a Manitoba superior court for the first time Friday, sharing their hurt and anger about never getting the chance to say her name before a judge.

For years, the identity of Ashlee Shingoose, the first of the killer’s four victims, had remained unknown, even after Jeremy Skibicki had been sentenced to life in prison for murdering her and three other First Nations women last August.
