5 Charged with Murder in Lethbridge Apartment Attack

0:00Left Bridge Police just hit five people with first-degree murder charges after a 27-year-old man turned up dead in an apartment complex last month. It happened on 7th-day Avenue South, south of downtown, when emergency crews rolled in around 6.30 a.m. on March 27 for an assault. Call. The guy was unresponsive inside a unit and pronounced dead right there. Cops pieced it together quick. The victim was chilling with a 22-year-old woman when a crew burst in, locked him down, beat him, and choked. Him out. Investigators call it a straight-up targeted hit, all planned out ahead of time. Everyone involved knew the victim, which makes this personal and cold-blooded. No random violence here. Just folks from the same circles turning deadly. A rest came fast and steady. Two guys got nabbed a day after, a third during a house raid on March 30, out on Mount Crandale Crescent, fourth one scooped up April 2nd, and the woman walked into the station April 8th.

1:00No one's still on the run. The five four men aged 27-43 and the 22-year-old woman are all locked up in Lethbridge facing court in the next few, weeks as the investigation keeps rolling. I'm Cory with the story, and you've been listening to Calgary News today, AI-powered local news.
