A cyclist Edmonton police were looking for as a witness to a homicide in west Edmonton is now considered a suspect.
The cyclist was in the Callingwood neighbourhood just north of 64th Avenue at around 10:50 p.m. on May 16, around the time Ibrahim Zoker,23, was shot and killed.
Last week police said they were looking for the cyclist as a potential witness, but the investigation has since led them to believe the man is a suspect.
The man was riding a full-sized bike. At the time, he was wearing a light-coloured top. He may have been carrying a satchel or bag and he also may have been wearing a headlamp. The suspect is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached.

He was also known to wear a distinctive gold-coloured baseball cap wherever he went.
