Winnipeg police say Canada-wide warrants have been issued for a man wanted in connection with two deadly shootings in Winnipeg, and are asking the public to be on the lookout.
On Friday, police said the warrants have been issued for 22-year-old Thunder Lightning Fontaine on charges including first- and second-degree murder and four counts of possession of a firearm, restricted or prohibited weapon, or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order.
The charges have not been proven in court.
Police said the charges are in connection to the shooting deaths of 40-year-old Angus John Maple and 35-year-old Anthony James Sinclair.
Police said the first shooting happened on Nov. 24, 2021, at around 8:15 p.m. Emergency crews were called to an apartment in the 300 block of Mountain Avenue for a report that a man had been injured. Maple was found and taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
