More charges have been laid in connection to a series of violent assaults in Winnipeg's Point Douglas neighbourhood last summer, following the recent death of a third victim.

Troy Baguley, 51 suffered life-altering injuries in the Aug. 22 attacks and was unable to recover. He died March 3, police said.

Investigators arrested Tristan Colten Moose, 21, on March 21 at the Headingley Correctional Centre and charged him with second-degree murder.

Two male youths, aged 15 and 16, were then arrested at the Manitoba Youth Centre, and a 14-year-old male was arrested at his home.

Danielle Dawn Ballantyne, 36, and Marvin William Felix, a 54-year-old man, were killed in a series of attacks in the early hours on Aug. 22.

Baguley was rushed to hospital in critical condition.

Two 15-year-old males — one of whom is now 16 — were arrested soon after and each charged with two counts each of second-degree murder and one count of aggravated assault.

They are each now charged with two counts of second-degree murder for the deaths of Baguley and Felix, and first-degree murder for the death of Ballantyne.

The 14-year-old is charged with second-degree murder in Baguley's death.

Police say the victims and suspects were not previously known to one another.

The investigation has been concluded and no further arrests are anticipated.
