Calgary police are working with Interpol to try and track down a man wanted in connection to the death of Kevin Anaya at a residence in the city’s northeast six years ago.

Timothy (Tim) Matthew Chan, 33, is wanted for first degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder and Canada-wide warrants were issued in 2013 for his arrest as part of Operation Desino.

Operation Desino is an investigation into the organized crime related murders of six people since 2008. Four people are currently facing charges in connection to the case but so far Chan has eluded capture.

He is wanted in connection to the death of 21-year-old Kevin Steven Anaya on August 9, 2008.

Anaya was gunned down by occupants of a passing vehicle as he walked up to a home in the 1000 block of Marcombe Drive NE.

The people in the vehicle then got out and continued shooting at Anaya before fleeing the area.

Police believe Anaya was targeted along with another man who was not injured.

Investigators believe Chan was living in Toronto with his wife and child when the warrants were issued in 2013 and say he also has connections to Edmonton and Vancouver.

“As the investigation has unfolded, we continue to need help. We know that this is an individual that travels around the world. We know that this is an individual that may be travelling under an assumed name. And what we are really asking people to do is, take a look at the photograph, keep your ears and eyes open and if you see something suspicious, if you think that you hear something suspicious, you think  that maybe this is Tim Chan, phone the police,” said CPS Insp. Cliff O'Brien.

They are working with Interpol on the case and say Chan may no longer be in Canada.

“He was put on the Interpol list in May of this year,” said O’Brien.

Chan could also be operating under an assumed name.

"One of the things that the investigation has determined is that Mr Chan travelled to quite a few countries and so he really could be anywhere," said O'Brien.

Timothy (Tim) Matthew Chan is described as:

  • Asian
  • 170 cm or 5’7” tall
  • 77 Kg or 170 pounds
  • Brown eyes
  • Black hair
  • Has tattoos of a Buddha on his upper right arm and two serpents and a dragon with Asian symbols on his upper left arm

Anyone with information about CHAN’s whereabouts is asked to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers anonymously using any of the following methods:
