(Google Street View) No charges will be laid against a 23-year-old woman who police say was acting in self-defense when a man was killed at The Forks Park in Winnipeg earlier this year. Officers were called to an assault at the park on Israel Asper Way shortly after 10pm on May 5. They found the injured man, who was later identified as Kyle James Craik, 27. He was rushed to hospital, but was pronounced dead. Police said in a news release Monday that the investigation led to the arrest of a 23-year-old woman, but further investigation revealed she had been confronted by Craik, whom she did not know. A struggle ensued, which resulted in Craik’s death after the woman defended herself. After a review by a senior Crown attorney and Manitoba Justice, it was determined that her actions were reasonable under the circumstances, police said in the news release.
