2nd suspect arrested in Christmas Day fatal shooting
CBC
A man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant in a fatal shooting on Christmas Day last year has been taken into custody by Calgary police.
Yosief Hagos, 23, was arrested Monday in connection to the deadly shooting of Samuel Welday Haile.
Haile, 24, died in hospital after being shot early on Christmas morning in the 2600 block of 35th Street S.E. His death was Calgary's 26th homicide of 2022.
"Since this murder occurred, we continuously followed up on Hagos's associates and worked with partner agencies to track his whereabouts," said Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson of the Calgary Police Service's homicide unit in an emailed statement.
"I'm grateful that we're able to help bring closure to the victim's family."
In January, police said they had charged a 21-year-old Calgary man with accessory to murder after the fact in the death of Haile.
Hagos will next appear in court on Thursday.
