Hey there, time traveller!

A B.C. man has been brought to Winnipeg after he was arrested for a homicide that happened here this summer.
Two Canada-wide warrants had been issued for Dyllan Petrin, 19. Surrey RCMP said Petrin was found “hiding out” in Vancouver and was arrested Jan. 19. He was brought to Winnipeg and charged Saturday with first-degree murder in the killing of Cody Alexander Sleigh, 31.
Sleigh, who was also from B.C., was shot and killed in the 1000 block of Main Street on July 21. The shooting happened near the Osborne Community Correctional Centre, which houses offenders who have been released under various conditions.
Petrin had been on the run since May, when he removed an electronic ankle monitor he was required to wear and disappeared. He had been arrested in connection with a kidnapping and assault in Surrey, B.C., in July 2019 and released under court-ordered conditions.
Sleigh, who had no arrest record in Manitoba, served time in prison for multiple offences, including a 2011 gang-associated kidnapping in Vancouver. He was on parole at the time he was killed.
When the warrant for Sleigh’s murder was first announced in October, the Winnipeg Police Service said it had “gang undertones.”
Another man, 32-year-old Kleon Cassidy Pop, was arrested Sept. 7 in Williams Lake, B.C., and charged with first-degree murder in Sleigh’s killing.
