A nationwide arrest warrant has been issued for an 18-year-old Winnipeg woman accused of killing her mother at a Fort Garry residence.

Winnipeg police are asking for the public's assistance in locating Hailey Barker, who is accused of stabbing Christine Lynnette Barker, 36, on Monday.

Hailey Barker, who police said is Christine Barker's daughter, is accused of second-degree murder.

Hailey Barker is described as 5-6 tall and 135 pounds with a thin build, black hair and brown eyes. No picture of her was provided by police.
