18-year-old Wahb Mandamin was stabbed early Tuesday near the Canad Inns Polo Park hotel.
Mandamin was in Winnipeg from the Shoal Lake First Nation for his girlfriend's ultrasound appointment.
Those close to Mandamin said he was staying at the hotel when a fight broke out.
Mandamin's father, the chief of Shoal Lake First Nation, has come to Winnipeg searching for answers to what happened.
