Winnipeg homicide investigators are asking the public for help in tracking down Laura Fay Buboire, 30, who is wanted for second-degree murder in connection with a fatal shooting.

Police said there’s a Canada-wide warrant out for Buboire for the homicide, as well as for armed robbery using a firearm, possessing a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, and possessing a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized.

The victim, 45-year-old Deena Anne Markwick, was found on Young Street around 2 a.m. Aug. 16, suffering from a severe gunshot wound. She was taken to hospital in critical condition, where she later died.

Police are urging Winnipeggers not to approach Buboire — described as five feet four inches tall, and 134 pounds with a medium build, green eyes and red or brown hair — if they spot her.
