Man charged in fatal stabbing on Springfield Road
Scott Tates, 23, was seriously assaulted following physical altercation, say Winnipeg police
Winnipeg police say a 28-year-old man has been charged with murder in the death of Scott Tates, who was stabbed following an argument at a Springfield Road home on Thursday.
Officers were called to the house in the 300 block of Springfield, in the city's River East area, just after 3 a.m. Thursday and found Tates with critical stab wounds.
The 23-year-old died of his injuries in hospital. Police released his name on Friday.
Police say it appears that Tates was involved in a dispute with another man that turned physical.
The other man then left the area but came back a short time later with a weapon and seriously assaulted Tates, according to police.
Christopher Blair McDougall has been charged with second-degree murder and assault causing bodily harm, police announced Friday. He is in custody.
