Police have issued an arrest warrant in connection with the death of 33-year-old Shawn Douglas Thomas, a member of Peguis First Nation who was living in Winnipeg.

The Winnipeg Police Service says Karl Earl Settee, 31, of Winnipeg is wanted for manslaughter.

“Do not approach this individual, call police,” authorities warned in a news release Thursday.

On Oct. 18 around 5:35 p.m., Thomas was found unresponsive by Winnipeg police in the 800 block of College Avenue. He was transported to a hospital in critical condition, where he was later pronounced dead.
