Officers subsequently located the SUV in the 400 block of Truro Street, where it had collided with a tree. Patchinose and a 16-year-old female passenger were transported to a hospital in unstable condition, while a 22-year-old female passenger was transported in critical condition and succumbed to her injuries.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Patchinose is asked to call investigators at 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
