On July 25, 2023, at approximately 11:30 a.m., the Winnipeg Police Service’s General Patrol and Tactical Support Team responded to the report of a male, indicating he had been shot and seriously injured.
Officers located the 21-year-old victim with life-threatening injuries at a convenience store in the 800 block of Logan Avenue. He was transported to hospital in critical condition and has since been upgraded to stable condition.
