The sister of a 22-year-old killed by Winnipeg police on Saturday morning says he was a man with "a smile to remember" who loved his family.

Stewart Kevin Andrews was shot by police after officers were responding to a report of a robbery and windows being broken near the city's Maples neighbourhood shortly after 4 a.m. A 16-year-old boy was also injured during the incident, police said.

Both were taken to the hospital, which is where Andrews died.
