The Pembina Trails School Division in Winnipeg confirmed a group of students from École South Pointe School discovered a body while doing a community cleanup Friday.

A Winnipeg man has been charged with first degree murder in connection with the shooting death of a former Winnipeg football player at a South Pointe neighbourhood townhouse last November.

Winnipeg police say a man was shot at a townhouse in Winnipeg's South Pointe neighbourhood overnight, bringing Winnipeg's total to 40 homicides this year.
