A Winnipeg man is facing second-degree murder charges in connection with the city’s 30th homicide of 2021.
Norman Richard Pruden, 37, was originally arrested for aggravated assault after an altercation with 41-year-old Ifa Germosa at a Higgins Avenue establishment on Monday night.
When Germosa later died of his injuries in hospital, the charges were upgraded.
Police said they believe the two men — who didn’t know each other — got into a verbal argument, which led to the victim being seriously assaulted with a weapon outside the building.
