Winnipeg police arrest 2 men, search for 3rd in 2024 shooting death of soccer player

Winnipeg police say they have made two arrests and are searching for a third person in connection to the death of a 22-year-old soccer player who was shot at a south end Winnipeg facility in July. 

Police arrested Ibrahim Bangura, 26, in Winnipeg on Jan. 20, and Norbert Kipala, 27, on Feb. 5. Kipala was already in custody at the Thunder Bay Correctional Centre for an unrelated matter, Const. Dani McKinnon said at a news conference Tuesday. 

Bangura and Kipala have been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Mohamed Yusuf Abdullahi, 22.

Police are still looking for Tresor Horimbere, 22, who is also charged with first-degree murder, police said.

Horimbere may be in Ontario, police said. He is described as approximately five feet, eight inches, with a thin build, weighing roughly 120 pounds.

Horimbere is considered armed and dangerous and he shouldn’t be approached, McKinnon said. 

Abdullahi was shot in the parking lot of the Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex on Waverley Street on July 13. Police were called there around 11:45 p.m. and found him unresponsive and suffering from gunshot wounds.

Abdullahi had just finished playing in the sixth Canada African Cup of Nations 2024 tournament and was shot while exiting through the parking lot after a busy night.
