Brandon police said a man who was assaulted during a robbery on Saturday evening has died from his injuries.

Police and family members have since identified the victim of Saturday's assault as Burton Tacan of Brandon. 

Investigators believe Tacan was followed to his apartment by a man and woman, who then assaulted him and robbed him.

Sgt. Dave Andrew with the Brandon Police Service said they knew one another, but added "at this point in the investigation we think that this was random."

Tacan was taken by air to a Winnipeg hospital to be treated for severe head injuries that left him in critical condition.

Family members write that Tacan was a very happy person, whose presence always "brought joy to a room." 

Lyndon Bournon is an adult education coordinator with the Brandon Friendship Centre who met Tacan nearly a decade ago while helping him to access training. 

Bournon said Tacan quickly gained the nickname "Mr. Awesome" due to his interactions with others frequenting the Friendship Centre.

"You'd ask how he was and he'd say 'awesome' or some other positive thing," Bournon said. 

"He'd say 'why wouldn't I be?'". 

Bournon said he was shocked to hear of Tacan's violent death, as were others who knew the beloved Brandon man.

"I'm sure anyone who knew Burton at all would be just devastated by this."

On Sunday, a 28-year-old Brandon woman was arrested and charged. Police also identified a male suspect.

On Tuesday morning, police were notified that Tacan had died. 

A male suspect turned himself in on Tuesday evening.

Ashley Nicole Ross, 28, is charged with manslaughter, aggravated assault and robbery with violence.

Mitchell Jerod Myron, 25, is facing the same charges. 

Police continue to investigate.
