Winnipeg police

Winnipeg police were not able to provide details as to the man's injuries, saying the information being released is limited as the investigation is still in the early stages.

Police said no arrests have been made.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 204-986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.
