The Winnipeg Police Service has identified Monday's homicide victim as Rig Debak Moulebou.

The WPS responded to a report of a male shot at a residence in the first 100 block of Tim Sale Drive Monday evening around 11:45. When officers arrived they located Moulebou deceased.

The twenty-year-old man is the city's 40th homicide victim of 2019.

In high school, Moulebou was an all-star football player with the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute (DMCI) Maroons. He was the captain of the team as well as the team MVP, and the Winnipeg High School Football League defensive player of the year in 2017. The Maroons went undefeated that year and won the league championship.

The DMCI Maroons say in a tweet that "Our hearts are saddened to hear the tragic passing of our alumni Rig Moulebou. ... All of us Maroons have heavy hearts."

The City of Winnipeg has been rocked by violent crime in 2019, including a near-record number of homicides. The most-ever homicides in one year came in 2011 when there were 41 homicides.
