Four men previously arrested in connection with the shooting death of William Sumner are facing new charges after police met a man suffering from a gunshot wound more than two weeks old.
Police said they were speaking to the 25-year-old man on July 3 while they were investigating something else when they discovered he had been shot in the leg.
“He is not the one who reported the gunshot to his leg,” said Const. Tammy Skrabek, Winnipeg Police Service, on Tuesday.
Investigators believe the man was shot on June 18, 2017, in the same incident that left Sumner, 27, dead.
