Arrest made in 2023 homicide

Police have made an arrest nearly three years after a man died after being assaulted on a Keenleyside Street sidewalk in 2023.

Joseph Robert Campbell, 24, was assaulted on the 300 block of Keenleyside Street on Oct. 14, 2023. He was found by police with serious injuries and died in hospital shortly after.

Skylar Rain Gamblin, 21, was arrested Tuesday and has been charged with second degree murder. He remains in custody. A news release from the Winnipeg Police Service Thursday said the investigation was ongoing.

A relative of the victim told the Free Press after his death that Campbell was a young father and had left a friend’s home in East Elmwood that night.
