Police have charged a 31-year-old man with the second-degree murder of a family member in Inkster Gardens.

Police said Sunday that a man went to police headquarters on Friday afternoon and reported that he had killed a family member.

Soon after, police received a call that a man had been found injured in a residence on Highwater Path.

Officers went to the residence and found a man with stab wounds.

Police say the victim is 54-year-old Reynaldo Ramirez.

Milles Anthony Ramirez has been charged with murder.

The incident is the 44th slaying in Winnipeg this year.

Squad cars and a police identification unit van were parked in the front yard of the Inkster Gardens townhouse for much of the day Saturday.

Neighbours on Highwater Path, a quiet street with slightly more than a dozen properties, said police and paramedics arrived Friday night, and since then, there had been a steady stream of personnel at the scene.

“It is definitely the first time I’ve seen a police car parked in a yard here like that,” said one resident who’s lived across the street for several years. The townhouse where police were parked was a multi-generational home, they said. 

This year has been the worst on record in Winnipeg, surpassing the previous high of 41 homicides, reached in 2011.
