Atem is wanted for first-degree murder in connection to a killing on Broad Street near the General Hospital on July 29, 2023.
According to a release from Regina police in July, officers responded just before 2:30 a.m. to the 2100 block of Broad Street for a report of an injured man. The victim — later identified as Roman Miller — was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
Police arrested the other suspect, Shedrek Samuel, in February.
“After exhausting most all of the investigative avenues in effort to locate and arrest Atem, we submitted the investigation to the BOLO Program for their review and consideration,” Supt. Trent Stevely of the Regina Police Service’s investigative services division said in April.
The BOLO organization works with police services and Crime Stoppers to amplify wanted criminals across the country using social media, billboards and traditional media.
This is the first time a subject wanted by the Regina Police Service has been chosen for the list.
“ ‘Make his world smaller’ is what we say,” explained Stevely.
Rewards are being offered for those on top of the 25 most wanted list, but there isn’t a reward for Atem right now.
Atem is described as being 6-foot-3 and around 140 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Anyone who sees him should call the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or inform Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or at saskcrimestoppers.com.

Atem is not the only person listed on the most wanted list. Jonathan Ouellet-Gendron, one of the suspects in a May 2022 murder in Saskatoon, has been on the list since May of last year.
Up to $50,000 is being offered for tips leading to Ouellet-Gendron’s arrest.
He was charged after 29-year-old Brandon Baxandall was killed at his Saskatoon apartment on Melrose Avenue.
