Edmonton police have a warrant for second-degree murder Luqman Osman in connection with a shooting death at a lounge that left a man dead Wednesday morning.
The 31-year old victim, Bekri Mohamad, was killed at the Papyrus Lounge at 112 street and 107th Avenue. CBC News has learned he had a minor drug-related record with two convictions five years ago.
“Detectives have interviewed several witnesses at the scene of the incident, whose statements have been comprehensive and extremely helpful,” Staff Sgt. Bill Clark wrote in a release.
“The community can play a pivotal role in our investigations, and this is a prime example of that excellent partnership.”
Police say Osman is considered armed and dangerous and is described as a black man, in his mid-20s, approximately 6’3” tall with a medium build. The suspect has a beard and scars that are visible on his neck.
