Winnipeg police are investigating a homicide after a man was found dead outside in the city's North End earlier this week.
Officers responded to a call in the 300 block of Pritchard Avenue around 10:30 a.m. on March 17 and discovered the body of a deceased male.
The Winnipeg Police Service says in a press release that an autopsy has determined his death to be a homicide.
Police have identified the victim as 28-year-old Diego Moscoza (Moscoza Jimenez), a Mexican citizen who had been living in Manitoba for the past two years.
The Homicide Unit has taken over the investigation, and Moscoza’s next of kin have been notified.
Investigators are asking anyone who had contact with Moscoza since the beginning of March to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 204-986-6508 or provide tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS or winnipegcrimestoppers.org.
