Manitoba Man Arrested for Fatal Shooting in Winnipeg
A 33-year-old man from Split Lake, Manitoba, has been apprehended by the Winnipeg Police in connection with a fatal shooting incident. The arrest was made with the assistance of the Manitoba Integrated Violent Offender Apprehension Unit on Wednesday. The suspect has been charged with manslaughter and is currently in custody.
The incident took place on October 31 at around 2:30 a.m., when authorities discovered 47-year-old William Billy Markowski unresponsive on the ground near a residence in the 100 block of Johnson Avenue West in East Kildonan. Police officers immediately initiated emergency medical care, and Markowski was urgently transported to the hospital in critical condition. Tragically, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
The Homicide Unit swiftly identified a 23-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man as the prime suspects in this shooting-related homicide. In November, these two individuals were located in Edmonton and subsequently arrested by the Edmonton Police, based on warrants for second-degree murder. They were later returned to Winnipeg to face charges.
This unfortunate incident marked the 44th homicide of the year in Winnipeg, equaling the previous record set in 2019. As the year came to a close, the total number of homicides reached 53.
The investigation into this case remains ongoing under the diligent efforts of the Homicide Unit. The authorities urge anyone with information that may assist in the investigation to contact them at 204-986-6508 or reach out to Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
