WINNIPEG — Winnipeg police confirmed Friday they are investigating the homicide of a 49-year-old woman in the 500 block of Marion Street. Officers had the area of Marion and Dufresne Ave. taped off all day. Neighbors tell Global News they heard noises that sounded like gunshots overnight.

Other neighbours say they only noticed the scene when police started taping off the area.

“It was three separate noises with pauses in between,” said the resident who didn’t want to be identified. “When I woke up this morning I saw an ambulance with its lights on, they put someone in the back and left without their lights on…I guess the shop owner must have called it in this morning.”
