On February 24, 2025, at 6:45 pm, the Long Plain Detachment of the Manitoba First Nations Police Service (MFNPS) received a report of a stabbing.
RCMP say in a media release, “a vehicle pulled up to the Long Plain Detachment of the Manitoba First Nations Police Service with a 26-year-old male, from the community, who was inside the vehicle requiring medical assistance. Officers exited the detachment and provided medical assistance until EMS arrived on scene.
The investigation has uncovered that the vehicle had stopped at a residence in Long Plain First Nation, to drop off another passenger, when a 14-year-old male exited the home and confronted the victim, who remained seated in the vehicle, in regards to stolen property. The 14-year-old then entered the vehicle and stabbed the victim.
The vehicle then left the scene and drove to the Long Plain Detachment where the 26-year-old was subsequently transported to hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
His death is being treated as a homicide.
On February 24, 2025, the 14-year-old male was arrested by MFNPS officers and held in custody.
On February 25, 2025, the 14-year-old was charged with 2nd Degree Murder and remanded into custody.
The Manitoba First Nations Police Service, along with RCMP Major Crime Services and RCMP Forensic Identification Services, continue to investigate.”
