A man has reportedly died after a shooting following a soccer game in Winnipeg over the weekend.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of the Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex on Waverly Street after the final games of the Canada African Cup of Nations were played on Saturday.
Gode Katembo, a member of the Canada African Cup of Nations executive board, said Monday he was inside the complex helping clean up when he heard what sounded like fireworks.
“I looked over to see what was happening in a parking lot, and I did not see any fireworks,” he said. “I ran immediately across, called everybody who was at the complex, and told them to go in the clubhouse.”
Once everyone was inside, Katembo said a young man was found injured in the parking lot from a shooting. He believes the shooting is not related to the tournament, and that the young man was targeted.
A letter sent by the board stated the man later died from his injuries.
Winnipeg police will be speaking about the homicide at 1 p.m. CTV News Winnipeg will live-stream the event.
