A woman was found dead near a St. Boniface business Saturday morning, police said.
Police were on scene Saturday investigating inside a commercial building on the block.
Overnight on Friday, a nearby resident saw a distressed woman acting erratically on the 400 block of Provencher Boulevard.
Kashmir Singh Pannu lives across the street and called police three times around 3 a.m. as the woman darted around the block barefoot, yelling and pounding on his and his neighbour’s doors.
