The Winnipeg Police Service is urgently appealing to the public for assistance in identifying an individual who may hold crucial information regarding a tragic incident that occurred on the St. Vital Bridge earlier this month.

On the evening of December 1, authorities responded to a distressing scene where a man was discovered lying on the north side sidewalk of the bridge at approximately 10:20 p.m. The victim was swiftly transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition, but sadly succumbed to his injuries, leading to his untimely demise.

Police have since identified the deceased as a 63-year-old man and have already notified his family about the heartbreaking incident. Preliminary investigations have revealed that earlier in the evening, the victim was in the company of a group of individuals at an establishment located in the 700 block of Osborne Street North. At around 8:30 p.m., he departed the premise accompanied by another person.

Law enforcement authorities are now actively searching for a Caucasian male, aged between 50 and 60 years, who could potentially provide significant insights into the circumstances surrounding this tragic death. The individual in question is described as having a beard and longer hair, both displaying light brown or grey hues.

It is of utmost importance for the police to engage in conversation with this man, as they strongly believe that he possesses crucial information that could shed light on the events leading up to the victim’s untimely passing.
