Calgary police say charges are pending in the murder of Harsimran Singh Birdi.

The 20-year-old was found dead in an alley in the 9700 block of Harvest Hills Link Northeast on April 7, 2016.

Police say Birdi was the victim of a targeted attack.

Witnesses told police there was a disturbance in the alley and two vehicles drove off.

Last month investigators released surveillance photos of men they were looking for.

Monday afternoon police took two men into custody and say their names and charges will be released after they see a Justice of the Peace.
