Police obtained surveillance video and spotted two people who they believed were possible suspects in the back alley of the 100 block of Saskatchewan Avenue West.

On Thursday, a 17-year-old boy was arrested and charged with manslaughter. He was expected to appear in a Winnipeg courtroom Friday. RCMP say the investigation continues.
