According to an RCMP statement released June 5, Steele was found dead June 2 in a home in Flin Flon.

A Manitoba RCMP statement included comments from the Steele family, who described Trevin as a protective and kind man.
"He was a young man of only 24 years. He was polite and well-mannered, fiercely protective of his family and close friends and had a soft, compassionate soul," reads a statement from the family.
"The people who were close to him shared a special bond and those people will carry him in their hearts forever."
Steele's death is the first homicide in Flin Flon in almost two years - the last such death was that of an unidentified 44-year-old man from Denare Beach, who died after being assaulted on Hill Street in July 2022.
