Officers took the man to the hospital. He was then transferred to Winnipeg, where shortly after arriving, he died as a result of his injuries.

Police say his death is being investigated as a homicide and due to ongoing violence and threats in the community, the “D” Division emergency response team and North District CREST unit are in the community to help the Moose Lake Detachment with check stops, patrols and responses to calls.

RCMP continue to investigate.
