Student’s violent death a struggle for Lac La Ronge school
A Lac La Ronge First Nation teen’s locker is empty, and the man accused of killing him is still in custody.
Dustin Bird was 17 when he was shot to death in his girlfriend’s home.
Jonas Budd has been charged with the abduction of Bird’s girlfriend and for killing Bird while in a Lac La Ronge home early last Wednesday morning.
Since then, Bird’s family has been busy dealing with the trauma of losing him, attending court to follow Budd’s case, and picking up the pieces of Bird’s life left behind by his sudden death.
