Winnipeg police issue arrest warrant for man suspected in October homicide
Body of Mohamed Mohiadin Ahmed was pulled from Red River on Thanksgiving
Winnipeg police have issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for a man wanted for second-degree murder.
The body of Mohamed Mohiadin Ahmed, 29, was pulled from the Red River, along Churchill Drive, near Hay Street, in October.
His death was determined to be a homicide.
On Tuesday, police said that Jesse James Daher, 28, of Winnipeg, is wanted for second-degree murder in Ahmed's death.
Daher is described as six-foot-three and approximately 155 pounds, with a thin build.
He has green eyes and is believed to have a shaved head or possibly short brown hair, police said in a news release.
Const. Dani McKinnon said investigators believe Daher and Ahmed knew each other but couldn't say how.
Police don't believe Ahmed's body was in the river for very long before it was discovered.
Daher is considered armed and dangerous, so do not approach him, police said.
If you see him, police say to call 911.
