On July 13, 2024, at approximately 11:47 p.m., the Winnipeg Police Service responded to the report of a shooting in the parking lot of a soccer complex in the 900 block of Waverley Street.

Officers from the West District and the Tactical Support Team arrived and located an unresponsive male suffering from gunshot wounds and immediately provided emergency medical care. The victim was transported to hospital in critical condition and pronounced deceased.

The deceased victim has been identified as a 22-year-old male, Mohamed Yusuf ABDULLAHI, of Winnipeg.

The Homicide Unit is investigating and has determined the victim just finished playing and was exiting the event when he was fatally shot. Investigators do not believe this was a random shooting and are seeking the public’s assistance. There were approximately 100 spectators present at the game, and someone may have valuable information to assist the investigators.

Spectators who observed anything/anyone suspicious or if you have photos or video of the event are asked to contact the Homicide Unit at 204-986-6508 or anonymously at Crime Stoppers 204-786-TIPS or winnipegcrimestoppers.org.
