Winnipeg police are renewing calls for help finding the man wanted in connection to a homicide at a home on Elgin Avenue earlier this month.

Travis Joel Johnson, 37, was found unconscious with what police describe as significant injuries at the home in the 500 block of Elgin Avenue March 10.

Police performed CPR but Johnson died after being rushed to hospital.

Three days later police said a Canada-wide warrant has been issued for Dylan James Mousseau, 22, of Winnipeg on a charge of second-degree murder.

At the time police spokesperson Const. Jay Murray warned Mousseau should not be approached.
