In addition to second-degree murder, Martin Archie Flett, 22, faces several other charges.
The nature and number of other charges were not made public.
Tucker was stabbed in the upper body and sent to hospital in critical condition where he later died.
The motive is unknown but homicide detectives are certain the incident in the city's inner core started as a break and enter or even, possibly, a home invasion.
"Whether this individual was targeted, I'm not going to close any doors on that. We're still looking for answers. We're still trying to sort through pieces of information and we're hopeful by identifying our victim and the accused, we'll learn more and our investigation will progress," Const. Jason Michalyshen said during a press conference.
Anyone with information is asked to contact homicide investigators at 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
