The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) said the incident happened on Aug. 17 in the 100 block of Higgins Avenue. Police previously said they were called at around 3 a.m. to a reported stabbing near a hotel in the area. They found an injured man, and administered emergency care.
The man was taken to hospital in critical condition, where he died from his injuries.
Police identified the man as Brian Edward Anderson, 40, from Winnipeg.
Investigators say they believe Anderson was stabbed during a dispute outside the hotel at around 2:30 a.m. The suspect in the incident ran from the area.
