One man has been charged with second-degree murder and another with aggravated assault in a 2023 slaying.
Dion Trent Spotted Eagle, 36, was arrested on a warrant for the murder charge Thursday. Harry Andrew Bittern, 34, was arrested on a warrant for aggravated assault and on an apprehension and suspension warrant Sunday. Both men were detained in custody.
The two men and the victim, 33-year-old Treymaine Traverse, knew each other, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a news release Tuesday.
Traverse, a member of O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation who lived in Winnipeg, was found dead in a hotel on the 600 block of Main Street on the morning of March 9, 2023.
The WPS appealed to the public for tips that might help their investigations in March 2024.
