“We’ve done this before,” said Const. Rob Carver. “We’re asking people to check security systems, doorbell cams, video surveillance systems in the blocks around the area.” He adds this includes Atlantic Avenue, nearby Powers Street and as far north as Jefferson Avenue.

Carver tells Global News this tactic really does help investigators.

“Historically, we’ve had a lot of success,” he said. “The public has looked into their systems, got some security video and provided it to our investigators. It’s been really critical in us moving forward in these investigations.”

The time period of interest is the early morning hours of Oct. 11, up until 8 a.m.

Anyone who finds something is asked to call the homicide unit at 204-986-6508 or Crimestoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
