November 3, 2015     Homicide Investigation Update – C15-228661 On Tuesday, November 2, 2015  Winnipeg Police homicide investigators were in the area of St. Malo, Manitoba as part of an ongoing investigation into the murder of Camille Runke on October 30.   Investigators were looking for Kevin Runke, who was considered a person of interest in the case.   At approximately 11:00 a.m. officers observed a vehicle associated to Kevin Runke and attempted to stop it. The vehicle veered off into a wooded area and came to a stop. Due to concerns that Runke may have been armed, both the Winnipeg Police Tactical Unit and RCMP Emergency Response Team were deployed.   It was subsequently determined that Kevin Runke was the lone occupant of the vehicle and he was confirmed deceased at the scene from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The death of Kevin Runke is now being investigated by the Independent Investigation Unit of the Province of Manitoba.   The Camille Runke homicide will continue to be investigated by members of the Winnipeg Police Homicide Unit.           For further information contact either:  Constable Jason Michalyshen, Public Information Officer  Constable Eric Hofley, Public Information Officer  Kelly Dehn, Manager of Public Affairs    Phone: (204) 986-3061 | Fax: (204) 986-3267 | Email: WPS-PIO@Winnipeg.ca Share this mailing with your social network by clicking on the appropriate link:       Related Winnipeg Police Service Report a Crime Online Crime Stoppers CrimeStat Unsubscribe If you do not want to receive these emails anymore, unsubscribe.    Please do not reply to this email.

Crime Prevention Tip    SAFETY TIPS WHEN USING WINNIPEG TRANSIT Winnipeg Transit is becoming ever increasingly popular with today's gas prices and the increasing number of people that live in Winnipeg. With the opening of diamond lanes, express routes and the first phases of rapid transit, people are realizing that it can be a more cost and time efficient form of travel.  Whenever using our public transportation here are some precautions that should be taken in consideration for your own safety. Plan your trip. Know routes, schedules. If you do not have a bus pass carry the exact amount of money for your fare. Winnipeg Transit drivers do not carry currency to make change. Advise a family member, friend, or co-worker of your travel route and schedule. Use well illuminated and busy areas to wait for and to exit a transit bus, especially during early morning and late evening hours. Sit near the bus operator if possible. Do not doze off or get too distracted by other things such as iphones or ipods. Lack of attention can make you an easy target. Keep your purse, shopping bag, backpack and other belongings on your lap, on your arm, or at your feet. Do not leave them on an empty seat. If utilizing the storage area at the front of most transit buses DO NOT leave valuables in backpacks, etc. Avoid displaying expensive looking watches, rings, necklaces, and electronic equipment. Observe the behavior of others around you. If you feel uneasy or threatened, change your seat and/or alert the driver. Be aware that all Winnipeg transit buses are now equipped on board Audio/visual surveillance systems and decals informing passengers that this technology is in use. This technology is for your safety!  For your added safety and convenience, Winnipeg Transit offers "Request Stop" service, which allows riders to get off the bus between regular stops. This service is available every day, from 7 p.m. until the end of service.  It's simple. Here's how it works: Inform your operator at least one stop ahead of the requested stop. Exit by the front door only.  **At times, the operator may be unable to fulfill your request due to safety reasons.  Remember: People who appear alert and confident are less likely to be victimized. Always take proper precautions if you are going to be traveling on any form of public transportation.   E-Watch - Your direct connection to information about crime and crime prevention in your community.
