According to police, on Saturday evening, officers became aware of a male wanted for a Canada-wide warrant and more than two dozen provincial warrants.
The Edmonton Police Service placed the male on surveillance around 11:16 p.m. at a home in southwest Edmonton, in the area of 109 Street and 53 Avenue.
Officers observed him enter a vehicle with two female passengers and drive to a building near 105 Street and 38 Avenue, police say.
"When the female passengers safely exited the vehicle, tactical members went to affect the arrest," EPS said in a statement Sunday afternoon. "However, a confrontation occurred, and officers discharged their firearms."
Despite medical support provided by officers, the male was declared dead on scene early Sunday morning.
