Edmonton police have arrested a man for first-degree murder in connection with a killing near Commonwealth Stadium last year.
A second suspect remains at large.
Police arrested Jared Bird, 29, on Wednesday. Homicide investigators issued a province-wide warrant for co-accused Cecil Tompkins of Edmonton.
Tompkins, 37, is wanted for first-degree murder.
Anyone with information regarding Tompkins is asked not to approach him but instead to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
Nexhmi “Nick” Nuhi, 76, was found shot to death on Sept. 13, 2017, inside a multi-unit residence near 84th Street and 110th Avenue.
His death was the city’s 35th homicide of 2017.
The body of Blayne Joseph Burnstick, 25, was found in the same building a few days later.
An autopsy revealed Burnstick died of a gunshot wound. The accused in that case was arrested in Saskatoon last month and charged with second-degree murder.
