The three suspects linked to a homicide on Magnus Avenue are now facing second-degree murder charges, Winnipeg police say.
The suspects were arrested — with the help of the police service’s Air1 helicopter — early Thursday after fleeing the scene where Mitchell Michael Hanslip, 26, was found dead.
Investigators said the armed trio, Isaiah Adrian Moose, 23, Sydney Vain Moose, 22, and Ashtan Cole Peters, 28, forced their way into a suite at the Magnus Avenue building. The suspects are alleged to have confronted and shot Hanslip.
In addition to the second-degree murder charges, Isaiah Moose has been charged with two counts of failing to comply with release conditions, possessing a weapon, and possessing a firearm contrary to a prohibition order. Sydney Moose also faces the latter charge, and Peters is looking at four counts, as well as failing to comply with a probation order.
The homicide unit continues to investigate.
