Police are searching for a Winnipeg teen wanted in connection to a fatal gang-related shooting in the North End last month.
Nairne Marshall James Chapais, 23, was found shot on the front steps of a home in the 700 block of Selkirk Avenue on the morning of May 21.
He was rushed to hospital but later died.
Last week Winnipeg police charged two men with first-degree murder in Chapais’ death, and now say they’re looking for a third suspect.
A 17-year-old male is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for first-degree murder.
On Thursday Homicide Unit investigators obtained a court order authorizing the temporary publication of the identity of the youth suspect sought in connection with the homicide.
The suspect’s name and a photo provided by police were previously published in this story but have since been removed as the court order authorizing the publication of his identity expired Monday night.
Police hadn’t announced the teen’s arrest by Monday night.
Police warn members of the public not to approach the male youth suspect and ask that anyone with information about his whereabouts call 911. Anyone with further information that might help investigators is asked to call the WPS homicide unit at 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS.
Tyler Ryan Kenneth Jack, 21, and Clarence Raymon Scott, 30, have also been charged with first-degree murder and a number of other charges related to Chapais’ death.
Police have previously said the killing is believed to be premeditated and gang-related.
