RCMP say a man wanted for murder in Texas may have illegally crossed into Manitoba.
The Manitoba RCMP believe that a 27-year-old man who is evading police in the United States illegally crossed into Canada near Haskett, Man., sometime during the week of June 24, before travelling to Winnipeg and possibly eastern Canada.
Derek Whisenand is currently wanted in Texas for murder and is also the subject of a warrant for arrest in Canada.
Derek Whisenand is described as white, six-feet tall, 230 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. He was last seen with a black goatee. He is travelling with a large mixed breed dog, possibly a mix of a German Shepherd and pit bull or boxer, brindle in colour.
He may be armed and is considered dangerous, and is not to be approached.
