Winnipeg police have identified a second suspect in an October 2020 homicide.

The body of Mohamed Mohiadin Ahmed, 29, was discovered last fall on the banks of the Red River near Churchill Drive and Hay Street.

At the time, police were asking the public for information about Ahmed’s whereabouts in the days leading up to his death.

In January, police were seeking a 28-year-old Winnipeg man, Jesse James Daher, who had been charged with second-degree murder in connection with Ahmed’s death.
