Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/08/2020 (2183 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A 21-year-old man who died in hospital Friday, two days after being shot, has become the city’s 31st homicide victim of 2020.
The victim has been identified as Mohammed Yonis Ali of Toronto.
Winnipeg police responded to reports of shots fired in the 800 block of Aberdeen Avenue on Aug. 26 at 8:45 p.m. Ali was rushed to hospital in critical condition.
It remains unclear how long he had been in Winnipeg before his slaying, or what his connection to the city was, police said.
Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to contact investigators at 204-986-6508.
On Monday, police also announced an arrest in the slaying of Owen Russell Smith, who was shot on the 400 block of Selkirk Avenue just after 8 a.m. on Aug. 4.
Smith, 29, was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
On Friday, detectives arrested Albert Sam Campeau, 38, of Winnipeg. He has been charged with second-degree murder and detained in custody.
In 2019, Winnipeg experienced its deadliest calendar year on record with 44 slayings. Last year, the 31st homicide was recorded on Oct. 16.
