Portage Avenue was closed in both directions from Home Street to Evanson Street on Sunday morning while police investigated what they said is a “serious incident.”
Police also blocked off north and southbound Arlington Street during the investigation.
The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) initially posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, about the road closure at 6:50 a.m.
Evidence markers were seen scattered throughout the sprawling crime scene – on Portage Avenue, adjacent sidewalks, and a back alley connecting Home Street to Arlington Street.
Police officers were also seen collecting evidence and using a drone camera in the area.
The roadway reopened to traffic around 10:40 a.m.
A WPS public information officer said details will be released Sunday afternoon.
This is a developing story.
