A woman was found dead near a St. Boniface business Saturday morning, police said.

Police were on scene Saturday investigating inside a commercial building on the block.

Overnight on Friday, a nearby resident saw a distressed woman acting erratically on the 400 block of Provencher Boulevard.

Kashmir Singh Pannu lives across the street and called police three times around 3 a.m. as the woman darted around the block barefoot, yelling and pounding on his and his neighbour’s doors.

“She was yelling, screaming, and immediately I called 911,” Pannu said.

The Winnipeg Police Service confirmed on Saturday officers were on scene investigating.

The woman’s name and age have not be released.
