Winnipeg police arrest 1 of 3 men wanted in connection with Sandy Bay First Nation shooting
Jesse Myles St. Paul, Keith Douglas Racettte remain at large after Gregory James Lee Spence arrested
One of three men wanted in connection with a shooting on Sandy Bay First Nation one month ago has been arrested by Winnipeg police on unrelated charges.
Gregory James Lee Spence was arrested and charged Tuesday with 11 offences, including possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted gun and five other firearm offences, and possession of cocaine and methamphetamine for the purposes of trafficking.
A 38-year-old man and 18-year-old woman are facing similar charges, according to a Winnipeg police news release on Thursday. The woman was released while Spence and the 38-year-old were detained.
Spence, 36, had an outstanding warrant for his arrest from the Manitoba First Nations Police Service, the agency confirmed on Thursday.
He was facing charges for breaking and entering, aggravated assault, pointing a firearm, uttering threats and more stemming from a shooting on Sandy Bay on Jan. 3.
Police were called to a home on the First Nation that day after reports that multiple people entered a home and assaulted someone. A male victim suffering from a gunshot wound was taken to hospital in stable condition.
Keith Douglas Racette, 28, and Jesse Myles St. Paul, 31, remain at large in connection with that incident, per an MFNPS news release on Thursday.
Racette and St. Paul are considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached, according to the MFNPS.
