Man Accused in Fatal Shooting of Winnipeg Soccer Player in 2024 Arrested in B.C.

On July 30, police arrested fugitive Tresor Horimbere, 24, in Langley, B.C., in connection with the 2024 murder of 22-year-old Mohamed Yusuf Abdullahi; Manitoba authorities transported him to Winnipeg on Monday to face first-degree murder charges.
Following a Canada African Cup of Nations match, the fatal shooting occurred on July 13, 2024, at Winnipeg's Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex; investigators previously described the incident as a targeted attack potentially linked to drugs and gangs.
A $100,000 reward had been offered through the BOLO Program for information leading to Horimbere's capture, with the program displaying his photo on billboards along Portage Avenue as he was listed among Canada's most wanted individuals.
Winnipeg police previously charged two other men, Norbert Kipala and Ibrahim Bangura, in the slaying; prosecutors stayed charges against Bangura in May 2025, though both Kipala and Horimbere remain in custody facing first-degree murder charges.
Abdullahi volunteered as a youth coach and organized soccer programs for children shortly before his death; friends remembered the talented player who arrived in Canada from Somalia in 2014 after escaping civil war.
