A manslaughter warrant has been issued for a 31-year-old man in the killing of a Peguis First Nation man, who died after he was found in critical condition in the city's North End last month.

He was found just after 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 18 by Winnipeg police officers responding to a call about an unresponsive man on College Avenue, off Sinclair Street.
He was taken to hospital and later pronounced dead, police previously said.
