Winnipeg police are requesting the public’s assistance in locating a suspect in the June 18 shooting of William Sumner.

Leon Edward Patchinose, 29, is wanted for manslaughter in connection with the shooting last month in the 600 block of Pritchard Avenue.

Patchinose is described as Indigenous, 6-foot-4 and weighing 150 pounds. Police say he is not to be approached.

Police have already arrested Cameron Bounthieng Kinnavanthong, 32, and charged him with second-degree murder in the case, and two other men, Gene Lester Joseph Malcolm and Jonathan Erin Catcheway, were arrested June 29.

Sumner, 28, was shot and killed inside a residence on Pritchard after an argument broke out. One suspect allegedly pulled a handgun and shot Sumner several times, and he stumbled out onto the front yard where paramedics found him before transporting him to a hospital. He died of his injuries.

Anyone with information regarding Patchinose’s whereabouts is asked to contact homicide investigators at 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.
