Man accused in fatal shooting of Winnipeg soccer player in 2024 arrested in B.C.
WINNIPEG — A suspect sought by police for the past two years for his alleged involvement in the death of a Winnipeg soccer player has been arrested in British Columbia.
Winnipeg police say Tresor Horimbere was located and arrested in Langley, B.C., last week.
He has been returned to Winnipeg to face a charge of first-degree murder in the killing of 22-year-old Mohamed Yusuf Abdullahi in July 2024.
Abdullahi was found with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of a soccer complex in the city after competing in the Canada African Cup of Nations tournament.
A Canada-wide warrant was issued for Horimbere and a reward of $100,000 was offered for information leading to his arrest.
Two other men were also charged in relation to the shooting, with charges against one of the suspects later being stayed.
