Winnipeg Police have laid charges against a Winnipeg man in connection to the murder of Aaron Ashton McKay.
A 37-year-old has been charged with second-degree murder and two counts of possessing a restricted weapon. The man was detained in custody.
McKay, 31, was shot at a residence in the 500 block of Alexander Avenue on Sunday. He was taken to hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries. Police believe there was a gathering at the residence at the time of the shooting.
McKay’s murder was the 26th homicide of the year in Winnipeg.
Two stabbed at The Forks
Two adults in their 20s were stabbed outside the Forks Market just after midnight on Wednesday, police say.
Police say two men were stabbed and transported to hospital in critical condition and later upgraded to stable condition. A woman was also assaulted but was not stabbed and treated for minor injuries.
With help from the WPS Tactical Support Team, six suspects in the area were taken into custody (four youths and two adults).
Major Crimes is leading the investigation and no charges have been laid as of Wednesday afternoon.
Anyone with information can call the Major Crimes Unit at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
Police rescue woman from Red River
A woman was taken to hospital after jumping into the Red River off the Redwood Bridge on Tuesday evening.
North District officers, alongside the River Patrol Unit and AIR1, assisted in the rescue. The River Patrol unit managed to locate the woman and brought the boat nearby. In complete darkness, the woman was located and a patrol unit cadet member entered the water to secure a personal floatation device on the woman.
The woman was safely pulled to shore and transported to hospital in stable condition for precautionary measures.
Dog shot in North End
Police say a dog was shot twice outside a Mountain Avenue residence on Wednesday evening.
Officers responded to a shooting outside the home and were told by a resident that their dog was shot by two unknown suspects who fled on foot. The dog was taken to a veterinary hospital for emergency medical care and treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Major Crimes has taken over the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
