A man wanted in a 2024 Winnipeg murder was arrested in Langley on July 30.
Tresor Horimbere, 24, was located and arrested while living here.
The Winnipeg Police Service Homicide Unit was investigating the July 2024 homicide of Mohamed Yusuf Abdullahi, an amateur soccer star, in the parking lot of a Winnipeg soccer complex, where he had attended the Canada African Cup of Nations tournament.
The Winnipeg Police said the shooting was targeted but did not say a possible motive.
The arrest was led by CFSEU-BC’s Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (UGET), with support from CFSEU-BC investigative teams. CFSEU-BC and Winnipeg Police Service worked closely to locate and apprehend Horimbere. High risk arrest was conducted with the assistance from the RCMP Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team (IERT). Officers were able to safely bring Horimbere into custody.
On Aug. 3, 2026, the Manitoba Integrated Violent Offender Apprehension Unit (MIVOAU) travelled to Langley, and arrested Horimbere, transporting him back to that province where he was charged with first degree murder. He remains in custody.
“No single police agency can combat violent crime alone. The successful arrest of a fugitive wanted for murder is the result of strong partnerships, intelligence-led policing, and the dedication of officers committed to public safety. CFSEU-BC’s Uniform Gang Enforcement Team and Investigative Units work alongside policing partners across British Columbia to locate and apprehend high-risk offenders, ensuring they are brought before the courts while minimizing risk to the public and responding officers. This arrest is another example of what can be achieved when law enforcement agencies work together with a shared commitment to protecting our communities,” said Sgt. Sarbjit K. Sangha, CFSEU-BC media relations officer
Following the killing of Abdullahi, the police issues a ‘be on the look out’ for notification (BOLO) for Horimbere, considered a suspect. Investigators believed he may have been travelling throughout Canada to avoid apprehension.
A $100,000 reward had been offered for any information leading to his arrest through the BOLO Program which has a most-wanted list. Horimbere is fourth most wanted on BOLO’s list. BOLO is a program that is not part of police services nor government. It does not receive taxpayer funding. It uses various means to share information about people being sought by police throughout Canada.
Through the course of their investigation, Winnipeg Police identified three individuals believed to be involved.
On Jan. 20, 2025, 26-year-old Ibrahim Bangura was arrested in Winnipeg. On Feb. 5, 2025, investigators attended the Thunder Bay Correctional Centre and arrested 27-year-old, Norbert Kipala, where he was being held in custody on an unrelated matter.
Both remained in custody on the strength of first degree murder charges, according to Winnipeg Police.
