'A good start': Alberta applauds bail system changes targeting repeat and violent offenders

Samuel Haile's family knows bail reform can't bring him back, but they hope his death does bring some change.

Samuel Haile's family knows bail reform can't bring him back, but they hope his death does bring some change.

The 24-year-old was gunned down on Christmas Day in Forest Lawn.

Police believe the offender was out on bail at the time, fresh off armed robbery charges.

To make matters worse, the accused is walking free again after having skipped a Moose Jaw court date earlier this month.

"The whole family is shocked," Haile's aunt Selemawit Ghide told CTV News through a translator. "He was out on bail, and now he is free. So if they arrest him, we might get a little relief."

Canada-wide warrants have been issued for Yosief Hagos, who was last seen in Red Deer.

It's unknown if the incident that resulted in Haile’s death was targeted.
