Both men wanted in connection with the homicide of Mohamed Mohiadin Ahmed are now in police custody.
The 29-year-old Ahmed s body was found Oct. 12, 2020, near the river off Winnipeg s Churchill Drive, close to Hay Street, after a dog walker spotted it.
WINNIPEG Winnipeg police have arrested and charged a second person in connection with a homicide investigation after a body was found in the Red River in October 2020. Police said 21-year-old Evan Daniel Bill Brightnose-Baker was arrested on a warrant for second-degree murder, in addition to three additional warrants, at a home in the William Whyte neighbourhood. The charge has not been proven in court. The arrest comes more than six months after the body of 29-year-old Mohamed Mohiadin Ahmed was found in the Red River. Police said a person had been walking their dog near Churchill Drive and Hay Street, when they found the body on Oct. 12, 2020.
Brightnose-Baker was arrested at a residence in the William Whyte neighbhourhood.
