A 34-year-old man stabbed Wednesday in Winnipeg's Weston neighbourhood has died, police said.

Officers have been at the scene of the incident at Logan Avenue and Quelch Street since the early morning.

The police identification unit is examining a knife that a CBC cameraman and reporter found next to a sidewalk on Vine Street. It was in the grass, partially obscured, and coated with what appeared to be blood.

Following the discovery, police taped off that area as part of their crime scene.

A pool of blood was visible behind Cantor's Grocery, located at that corner, and a blood trail led out and onto Gallagher Avenue, about a half-block from where the knife was found.

A witness who spoke to CBC News said paramedics worked frantically on the victim before taking him to hospital.

The man's death is Winnipeg's 22nd homicide of 2009.

The investigation is continuing by members of the Winnipeg Police Service homicide unit.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact investigators at 986-6508 or Crime Stoppers at 786-8477 (TIPS).
