Missing Persons

Search for Missing Person: Michael Masukume Missing Person Details: Name: Michael Masukume Age: 30 Height: 5’8” Build: Medium Hair: Short black Eyes: Brown Michael was last seen on Sunday, February 8, 2026, in the area of the University of Manitoba and King’s Park in Winnipeg. Police Incident Report Number: R260007936 If you have information regarding Michael’s whereabouts, please contact Winnipeg Police at (204) 986-6250

Update: May 27, 2026

This Sunday morning on May 31, 2026, we will be heading out on the Red River by boat using sonar technology in continued search efforts for Michael Masukume.

We will be spending the entire day on the river and are welcoming experienced boaters who may wish to assist in the search. Gas costs will be covered for those helping with boats.

If you are interested in assisting, please message me directly for the meeting location and time.

We are also asking anyone walking trails or shorelines along the Red River to remain especially attentive near King’s Park, Lyndale Drive, Churchill Drive, Maple Grove Park, and surrounding shoreline areas downstream. Please pay close attention to shoreline debris areas, reeds, fallen trees, river bends, docks, and areas where currents naturally collect material along the banks. Don't put your safety at risk.

If you are out walking, biking, or spending time near the river and observe anything relevant, please immediately contact the Winnipeg Police Service Missing Persons Unit at (204) 986-6250.

We intend to continue organized search efforts throughout the summer. Every extra set of eyes on the water and along the riverbanks helps.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support the search efforts for Michael.

Update: May 19, 2026:

We are currently scheduling a time to continue the search efforts on the Red River and are hoping the weather conditions improve soon.

For anyone with a boat who may be willing to assist, please send me a message. We will help cover gas costs.

Thanks to the kindness of a volunteer, we now also have access to sonar technology to assist with the search efforts. We are incredibly grateful for the continued support from the community.

If you are able to help or have any information, please contact me directly at (204) 918-4203.

Thank you everyone for your ongoing support and assistance as we continue efforts to locate Michael Masukume.

We want to extend our sincere thanks to every volunteer who came out to assist in the search efforts for Michael. Your time, energy, and willingness to help means more than words can express to the family and everyone involved.

Based on the information available, there is a high probability that Michael entered the water near the following coordinates:

49°47'37.3"N 97°07'08.3"W (King’s Park area)

We are respectfully asking for assistance from anyone with access to a boat or drone who may be able to help search the river in this area and downstream. Even brief time on the water could make a meaningful difference.

If you are a boater in the area, please consider:

• Scanning shorelines, debris areas, and slower-moving sections of the river near the coordinates, and continue downstream.
• Reporting anything of concern immediately to police at (204) 986-6250.

Safety is critical — please do not put yourself at risk.

Thank you again to everyone supporting this effort. The community response has been incredible, and it continues to give strength to Michael’s loved ones.

An extra big thank you to the media, Bear Clan and the Winnipeg Police.
