The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) said Katrina Musawagon, 32, was arrested Tuesday at the Winnipeg Remand Centre and charged with first-degree murder.

Officers say the charge stems from the homicide of Shelby Dawn Hayward, a 30-year-old woman who was reported missing in November 2023. She was last seen near CF Polo Park.
The missing persons unit began investigating but the homicide unit took over in early 2024, as information police received led them to believe Hayward was dead.
According to WPS, investigators identified four suspects in the killing – one of whom died during the investigation.
Tamara Gayle Moneyas, 24, Vincent Charles Fontaine, 39, and Taylor Lena Ray Moose, 25, were arrested in the fall of 2024. They were charged with first-degree murder and were remanded into custody.
Police tell CTV News Winnipeg a fifth suspect was later identified, leading to Muswagon's arrest.
None of the charges have been tested in court.
