Winnipeg police say they have arrested a third person in connection with a murder in Winnipeg’s West Broadway area on Aug. 5.

Around 3:20 a.m. on Aug. 5, officers responded to a back lane on Furby Street and found 50-year-old George Nickolas Demos unresponsive with stab wounds. He was taken to hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries.

Investigators say about two hours earlier, a man was involved in a confrontation with a group of seven people in a nearby drive-thru.

Nehemiah Jarren Fehr, 22, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Two others, Jonathan Michael Gladue and an unnamed 17-year-old, face the same charges in Demos’s death.

Police say their investigation is ongoing but don’t anticipate any other arrests.
