On September 29, 2023, you are working patrol unit N301 with your partner Cst D Jones #1796. The temperature is 16 degrees Celsius and the weather is fair. Your shift starts at 9:00 p.m. and ends at 7:00 a.m. Your supervisor is Sgt. T. Chartrand.

At 9:00 p.m. you and your partner hit the road.

During the evening and into the early morning hours you take a number of calls - all minor in nature.

At 5:00 a.m., you are dispatched to a residence at 200 College Avenue for a stabbing incident. Report number C23-205723.

The call history indicates a male victim was stabbed multiple times and the Winnipeg Fire and Paramedic Services("WFPS") have been dispatched.

All partygoers are heavily intoxicated except one who is identified as Sara Jane Connor, DOB: June 8, 1994, of 210 College Avenue, ph:204-786-2663.

Connor is sober and knows both the suspect and the victim by name.

She witnessed the stabbing and heard the suspect say he would kill the victim. Connor advises the suspect and the victim are cousins. Connor indicates a drinking party had taken place in the lower level of the home.

During the evening the victim started teasing the suspect about his sexual orientation. Connor tells you the victim has been tormenting and bullying the suspect about his orientation for years. The two men became increasingly hostile with each other as the evening progressed.

As the argument escalated, the suspect placed a skeleton Halloween mask on his face and produced a knife, which he used to stab the victim multiple times in the upper torso area. Partygoers heard the commotion and intervened. The suspect fled the residence prior to police arrival.

After interviewing Connor and recording a written statement from her, you depart the scene to search the area for the suspect.

At 5:40 a.m., you observed the suspect fleeing in a southbound direction on Main Street near Redwood Avenue. After a brief foot chase, you arrest him at this location and conduct a search incident to arrest with negative results.

At 5:45 a.m., you place the suspect in the rear of the patrol car and advise him of his NOA and provide Charter Rights, all of which he indicated his understanding, and declined legal counsel.
