Winnipeg police have arrested a third suspect in connection with the homicide of a 16-year-old boy earlier this month.
Officers say Devin Allan Joseph Evans from Winnipeg was arrested Monday near Elgin Avenue and Isabel Street without incident on a warrant for second-degree murder authorized by Manitoba Justice.
The 18-year-old was detained in custody.
The arrest is in connection with a homicide investigation dating back to Oct. 5.
Police were called to the 500 block of Boyd Avenue just after 6 a.m. for a report of a gun call.
There they found a 16-year-old boy suffering from life-threatening injuries sustained from a gunshot.
He was taken to hospital in critical condition where he died.
His family was notified.
Police also arrested without incident two 15-year-old boys from Winnipeg on Oct. 23 in the 300 block of Dufferin Avenue on warrants for second degree murder.
None of the charges have been tested in court.
