A suspect in the killings, Myles Sanderson, remains at large as of Wednesday afternoon, and is "the target of a manhunt by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and other forces," writes The New York Times. His brother Damien, also a suspect, was found stabbed to death on the reserve on Monday. Authorities do not believe his wounds were self-inflicted.
The Sept. 4 attack is one of the deadliest in Canada's history, CBS News reports. A motive remains unclear, per CNN.
