An off-duty police officer found the body of Stinson, 49, near the water’s edge in Stephen Juba Park north of The Forks at about 5:35 p.m. June 12. An autopsy determined he’d been shot dead the same day.
Police now believe Morrisseau and Stinson, who were roommates, were drinking together under the train bridge at the south end of the park when they got in an argument. That argument ended when Morrisseau pulled out a gun and shot Stinson, police allege.
