A woman has been charged with second-degree murder in a fatal assault late last month.

Anissa Christy Pompana, 33, was arrested on the 900 block of Arlington Street on Thursday, the Winnipeg Police Service said in a news release Monday.

Byron Frederick Moose, 50, a member of O-Pipon-Na-Piwin Cree Nation, was found injured on the 900 block of Dugas Street early on Dec. 27. He died in hospital.

Investigators determined the two, who did not previously know each other, met at a mutually known location. They left that place together and were on Dugas Street when the assault happened, the WPS said.
