The family of a Calgary homicide victim is demanding better protections for those experiencing domestic violence.
On Tuesday, Calgary police responded to reports of an incident outside of an elementary school in the 300 block of Strathcona Drive Southwest at around 7:40 a.m. Police said one woman was declared deceased at the scene with what is believed to be stab wounds. Police said they believed it was a targeted incident.
One elementary school and one preschool in the area were put into lockdown as a precaution, but no staff or students were at risk at any time, police said.
Police said the suspect was found nearby deceased and there is no risk to the public. The incident is believed to be domestic in nature.
Both the victim and the suspect cannot be named due to a publication ban. The victim was the suspect’s former wife.
“I think what was most shocking is how it was done just during the day in front of a school … That was really, really disturbing,” said Racha El-Dib, the victim’s older sister.
“There was no news on Facebook or Instagram. It was just a random post on this group that I follow where I found out the news, and it was really shocking because it feels like there hasn’t been anything that’s happened in Calgary recently.
“I feel this (incident) has shifted just to bring more awareness about (domestic violence).”
