Winnipeg police say a man killed in the city’s latest homicide was involved in a fight outside a Main Street beer vendor in the moments before his death.
Valentine Ernest Sumner, 41, was found critically injured and laying on Main Street between Dufferin Avenue and Jarvis Avenue around 2:45 a.m. Saturday.
The Winnipeg man was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Winnipeg police wouldn’t specify how Sumner was injured or if there was a weapon involved.
His death is the city’s 22nd homicide of the year.
