Winnipeg police are investigating three homicides after one of its deadliest nights in the city in recent years.

Officers responded to a report of a stabbing at a residence on the 100 block of Kinver Avenue at 10:45 p.m. Saturday, where a Halloween party had been held.

Upon arrival, officers found two female victims aged 14 and 18. They were taken to hospital in critical condition.

The 14-year-old girl was pronounced dead. The 18-year-old has been upgraded to stable condition.

Hours later, at 2:30 a.m. Sunday, police responded to reports two men were down in the back lane of Ross Avenue at Isabel Street.

Police found two men suffering from “serious upper-body injuries.” They were taken to hospital in critical condition where they were pronounced dead.

No charges have been laid in either case, although Const. Rob Carver says some people from the Halloween party have been detained.

The deaths bring the total number of homicides in Winnipeg to 36 for 2019.

Anyone with information about either case is asked to contact investigators at 204-986-6219.
