HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION MALE YOUTH WANTED C13-61411
As previously released- on Tuesday, April 2, 2013 shortly after 4:00 p.m., Winnipeg Police Service members along with emergency services responders were dispatched to the 500 block of Langside Street for the report of gunshots.
Upon arrival officers located an adult male and female, both suffering from wounds consistent with having been shot with a firearm. Nigel DIXON, 20 years succumbed to his injuries while the female victim was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Police believe that the victims were walking in the area when they were approached by the suspect group. The suspects accused the victims of being gang members. The victims denied any gang involvement and walked away to avoid any further confrontation. While the victims were walking away, it is believed that they were followed by the suspect group. The victims were then fired upon as they attempted to get away. Injuries to the victims support the fact that they were attempting to flee from the suspect group when they were shot. Police believe that this was a case of mistaken identity as the victims are not affiliated with any gangs.
Investigators have obtained a Court Order authorizing the release of the identity of the youth suspect sought in connection with the homicide.
A Canada-wide warrant for 2nd Degree Murder and Attempt Murder is currently in effect for the arrest of seventeen year old, Anthony MCCLEMENTS.
MCCLEMENTS is described as: Caucasian, 5'9" tall, 150 lbs., short or shaved blonde hair, facial acne, blue eyes tattoos on right forearm "Hustle to Live" and "Live to Hustle" on left forearm.
Information received indicates that MCCLEMENTS may have fled to the Toronto, Calgary, Red Deer or Vancouver area. Local media are requested to share this information with their affiliates in these jurisdictions.
The investigation is continuing by the Winnipeg Police Service Homicide Unit. Anyone with information pertaining to MCCLEMENTS' whereabouts is asked to contact investigators at 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
NOTE: As the Court Order authorizing the release of MCCLEMENTS' identity expires on May 12, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. Media outlets are reminded not to publish his name or photograph after that date.
Thank you for your assistance.
