The homicide unit is investigating the death of a man found in a Pritchard Avenue home burned in a fire on July 20.
On Wednesday, officers identified the man killed as Justin Harvey Chezick, 42.
The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said the fire started on the main floor of a home at 676 Pritchard Avenue just before 6 a.m. on Monday and spread to the attic.
Officials confirmed two cats died in what they called a suspicious fire but did not believe any people were inside at the time.
Late in the afternoon Monday, the police identification unit was parked outside the home and police recovered a body inside.
