Man wanted for 2024 murder by Winnipeg Police arrested in Langley by CFSEU-BC

ON Thursday, July 30, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) arrested a man in Langley who was the subject of a Canada-wide warrant for murder out of Winnipeg.

The arrest was led by CFSEU-BC’s Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (UGET), with support from CFSEU-BC investigative teams. The accused, Tresor Horimbere, was number four on the Canada’s most wanted list on the BOLO Program.

CFSEU-BC and Winnipeg Police Service worked closely to locate and apprehend Horimbere. The high risk arrest was conducted with the assistance from the RCMP Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team (IERT). Officers were able to safely bring Horimbere into custody.

Following the arrest, Horimbere was transferred to the custody of the Winnipeg Police Service.

Winnipeg Police said in a press release that Horimbere, 24, has been charged with first degree murder. He was detained in custody. Its homicide unit has been investigating the July 13, 2024, homicide of Mohamed Yusuf Abdullahi, 22, of Winnipeg.

As per information previously released by Winnipeg Police, on July 13, 2024, at approximately 11:47 p.m., police responded to the report of a shooting in the parking lot of a soccer complex in the 900-block of Waverley Street. Officers located an unresponsive male suffering from gunshot wounds and immediately provided emergency medical care. The victim was transported to hospital in critical condition and pronounced deceased. He was identified as Abdullahi. The homicide unit determined the victim had just finished playing and was exiting the event when he was fatally shot. 

“No single police agency can combat violent crime alone. The successful arrest of a fugitive wanted for murder is the result of strong partnerships, intelligence-led policing, and the dedication of officers committed to public safety. CFSEU-BC’s Uniform Gang Enforcement Team and Investigative Units work alongside policing partners across British Columbia to locate and apprehend high-risk offenders, ensuring they are brought before the courts while minimizing risk to the public and responding officers. This arrest is another example of what can be achieved when law enforcement agencies work together with a shared commitment to protecting our communities”, said Sgt. Sarbjit K. Sangha, Media Relations Officer, CFSEU-BC.
