Suspect wanted for murder captured during McGee Street incident

February 28, 2021

Winnipeg Police executed two arrest warrants at a home on McGee Street on Saturday morning in the hopes of taking 37-year-old Terry Ryan Monkman and 37-year-old Dwayne Louis Simard into custody.

Monkman and Simard both had outstanding warrants. Prior to executing the warrants police took to social media requesting the public stay away from the area due to the possibility of weapons being on the premises.

Members of the Tactical Support Team and North District Community Service Unit executed the warrants just after 11:00 am. Several people exited the home including Monkman. He was taken into custody without incident.

Police learned that Simard was still in the building along with a 28-year-old Jesse James Daher who was wanted for Second Degree Murder.

Over the next eight hours police ordered the men out of the home multiple times but the pair refused to cooperate. Police believed that they may be armed.

A search of the home uncovered a loaded sawed-off 12 gauge shotgun with ammunition.
