Witnesses To The Point Douglas Attacks Say Many People Took Part In The Early Morning Violence

Danielle Dawn Ballantyne, 36, and Marvin William Felix, a 54-year-old man who used a wheelchair, were killed in a series of attacks in the early hours of August 22. Another man in his 50s was attacked and remains in a critical condition. Two 15-year-old males are charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of aggravated assault. The witnesses, whom the CBC has agreed not to name because of fears for their safety, live in the area of ​​Jarvis Avenue and Main Street and have a bedroom window that faces the street. The man said that shortly before 3 a.m., his wife woke him up saying that the gang that lived in the building next to theirs was fighting. “I’m jumping out of bed, watching this and just looking across (at) all these guys chasing this one guy, just beating the living daylights out of him right in the middle of the road,” he said. “Hitting him, kicking him, he goes to the ground and they’re still [pulverizing] him,” he said, adding that three or four people were involved in the attack. He said the beating continued for several minutes, until the man got off the ground and ran down Jarvis Avenue and the others gave chase. He said that while his attention was still on them, a separate group had gathered under his window. His wife said she saw a young man stab an elderly man. “This is when the guy in front of our building yells, ‘I’ve been stabbed,’” the man said. “He’s screaming more — he’s being stabbed, he’s been stabbed, he’s just screaming at the top of his lungs.” The witness said he called the police, who arrived shortly after 3am. He said the entire group, including the man who had been stabbed, had dispersed by the time they arrived. It wasn’t until 4:30 a.m. that police found the man, with serious injuries, in the Main Street parking lot between Jarvis Avenue and Sutherland Avenue, next to the apartment building. Winnipeg police said Thursday the man, in his 50s, remains in critical condition. At 5 a.m., police found Marvin Felix critically injured near the Bell Hotel on Main Street. They discovered Ballantyne’s body in the building next to the apartment around 7am A third male victim was found around 5:30 am. near Logan Avenue and Disraeli Highway. Police have not charged anyone in the attack. The witness believes he could have done more to help police locate the stabbing victim after they arrived, but instead of going downstairs to speak to them, he went back to sleep. “Like I say. Muscles swim with fish. I didn’t really like to get involved,” he said. Another resident of the apartment building told CBC he also saw the group of people fighting and yelling across the street at 3 a.m. on Aug. 22 and called 911. A witness to the stabbing at the corner of Main and Jarvis says the victim was found in the parking lot an hour and a half after it happened. The man remains in critical condition in hospital. (Jeff Stapleton/CBC) He said he approached them as they were beating someone to tell them to “knock it off”. “They said, ‘They owe us money for drugs and drugs,’” John Goshulak said. “They live over there in that stupid place,” he added, pointing to the building next to the apartment. Winnipeg police previously said they believe the same or similar suspects were involved in all of the Aug. 22 attacks and have not ruled out gang-related crimes. The male witness, who CBC is not identifying, said the day before, a man in his late teens approached him and a family member at the corner of Main and Jarvis and identified himself as a gang member, saying he was protecting that corner. “He had a knife on the left side of his stomach and a gun, I could see the handle. So as soon as I saw that, which was right in front of me, I just turned my head and looked down.” He said every night for months before the attacks, he watched a group of at least 10-12 people, between the ages of 14 and 22, dressed in black, come and go from the building where Ballantyne’s body was found. He said the group would hang out, making noise and causing other problems at the corner of Main and Jarvis. He said he reported them to his building’s security team, but was told nothing could be done unless they broke the law. When he awoke later on August 22 to see police gathered around the same building the youths had been frequenting for months, he thought at first that the police were making arrests. Instead, he learned that Ballantyne’s body had been discovered. “It was horrible,” he said. He wants more police surveillance, as he says many of the young people involved in the events he witnessed have returned to the building and the area. “I hope they can do something about youth crime. Be careful on the streets. At night? They are very dangerous.”
