Preliminary hearing scheduled in alleged Red Deer stabbing

Sep 21, 2026 | 2:46 PM

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for a Red Deer teen charged in an alleged stabbing incident this summer. 

Kayden Lawrence Jarvis, 18, is scheduled to see if his case has enough evidence to go to trial in Red Deer Court of Justice on May 6, 2027. 

Jarvis was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, robbery, and failing to comply with a release order following an incident on July 1, 2026. 

Police say they responded to a 911 call at 4:43 a.m. on Canada Day for an alleged stabbing in the Riverside Meadows area. 

Mounties say they found a 42-year-old man with serious life-threatening injuries, who was then taken to hospital by EMS. 

According to police, officers immediately located the suspect, and there was no further risk to the community. 

Red Deer RCMP General Investigative Section (GIS) then executed a search warrant on a residence in the Riverside Meadows area, and with the assistance of Red Deer General Duty and Red Deer RCMP Forensic Identification Services (FIS), police charged Jarvis. 

Following a Judicial Interim Release (JIR) hearing, Jarvis was remanded into custody and scheduled to appear in the Alberta Court of Justice in Red Deer.
