On 26.12.2024, Duane Nepoose, 32, pleaded guilty to multiple charges in connection with a crime spree that ended in a fatal crash at Macleod Trail and Southland Drive in Calgary. Nepoose, fleeing police in a stolen van, ran a red light and collided with two other vehicles, killing nine-year-old Victoria Desjardins and injuring her mother and older sister, as well as another motorist. The flight lasted about 16 minutes, with speeds up to 170-180 km/h, and included running multiple red lights. Nepoose had previously committed a robbery, punching a pharmacist and stealing his vehicle. On 27.08.2026, Court of King's Bench Justice Indra Maharaj sentenced him to 10 years in prison, with credit for time served, leaving about 7½ years. The judge cited mitigating factors such as his upbringing and remorse, but noted his methamphetamine use as an aggravating factor. The Crown and the victim's family expressed satisfaction with the sentence.
