A woman testified that Jamie Felix, accused in a 2023 Winnipeg shooting that killed five, had seizures and drug issues, and was allegedly using crack and alcohol before the attack.

A former girlfriend of Jamie Felix, accused in the 2023 Winnipeg rooming house shooting that killed five, testified he suffered seizures causing loss of consciousness and prolonged convulsions, which she witnessed multiple times. She said he had a history of drug and alcohol use after his twin brother’s death and was prescribed anti-seizure medication that should not be mixed with substances. Felix, who pleads not guilty to five counts of second-degree murder, is alleged to have used crack cocaine and alcohol before the attack. The victims—Crystal and Stephanie Beardy, Melelek Lesikel, Dylan Lavallee, and Shawn Marko—died from gunshot wounds, with four dying within days and one a year later. The trial continues.
