Two 17-year-olds have been charged with second-degree murder following the death of a 16-year-old boy in Winnipeg earlier this week.<\/p>\n
According to the Winnipeg Police Service, officers responded to a well-being call just after 8 a.m. on Thursday, June 25, in a parking lot in the 1700 block of Wellington Avenue.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they found a teenage boy deceased with significant injuries.<\/p>\n
Police have identified the victim as 16-year-old Bruno Delmar Young, a member of Bloodvein River First Nation who had been living in Winnipeg.<\/p>\n
The Winnipeg Police Service Homicide Unit took over the investigation.<\/p>\n
Later that evening, homicide investigators arrested two youths at a business in the 600 block of King Edward Street.<\/p>\n
A 17-year-old male and a 17-year-old female have each been charged with second-degree murder. Both remain in custody.<\/p>\n
Because the accused are youths, their identities are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.<\/p>\n
Police have not released additional details about the circumstances surrounding the homicide as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two 17-year-olds have been charged with second-degree murder following the death of a 16-year-old boy in Winnipeg earlier…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-766493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
