Ashley Isabella Murdock, 28, a member of Fisher River and Jackhead First Nation who was residing in Winnipeg, was found deceased at an apartment complex in the 300 block of Kennedy Street at around 7:20 a.m., on July 5.

Her death was deemed suspicious, and the Homicide Unit took over the investigation, police said.

The initial investigation determined Murdock had previously been reported missing
July 3. Investigators in the Missing Person Unit worked with family and community members to establish her last point of contact and communication was on June 26.

Investigators believe that although the deceased was discovered in the 300 block of Kennedy, she had previously been moved from another location while already deceased.
