Winnipeg police have charged a 27-year-old woman in connection to the death of James Monaghan in July, 2022.

In 2022, WPS said they discovered the body of Monaghan on July 29, around 4:30 p.m. at a home on Sherburn Street near Ellice Avenue after receiving a report of a body.

At the time, the death was considered suspicious and was being treated as a homicide.

WPS says after a lengthy investigation, officers were able to identify a suspect, and on Sept. 13, the suspect was taken into custody.

Since, 27-year-old Shelby Lynn Harper has been charged with second degree murder.
