The Winnipeg Police Service is searching for a 31-year-old man who is wanted for manslaughter.

Officers say a warrant was issued for Winnipegger Karl Earl Settee who is a suspect in a homicide investigation. He is not to be approached.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.

The charge stems from a homicide investigation that began on Oct. 18.

He was later pronounced dead.

He was identified as 33-year-old Shawn Dougals Thomas. He was a member of Peguis First Nation and lived in Winnipeg.

The charge has not been proven in court.
