Update: On Sept. 11 the 16-year-old turned himself in to RCMP. His name was removed from the story as per the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Manitoba RCMP have released the name of the second 16-year-old suspect they say is connected with a homicide investigation involving an altercation at an apartment complex in Thompson.

Police are looking for a 16-year-old male from Bunibonibee Cree Nation and Ashley Clipping, a 34-year-old male from Winnipeg in relation to this incident.

Clipping’s name was released earlier last Saturday and police are still searching for him.

The incident in question happened on August 30 at 7:30 p.m. when police say they went to a residence on Ashberry Place for reports of weapons.

Officers arrived on the scene and found a 33-year-old man who appeared to have been shot. He was taken to the hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Police say four men became involved in an altercation with two other men at the apartment on Ashberry. The altercation led to the death of the 33-year-old.

26-year-old Noah Crane from Oxford House has been charged with second-degree murder and 20-year-old David Linklater from Thompson has been charged with two counts of robbery and assault causing bodily harm.

Meanwhile, warrants were issued for the two remaining suspects.
