A 21-year-old Calgary man has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Samuel Haile on Christmas Day.
Calgary police say members of the homicide unit identified and arrested Seam Ghebremeskel.
Ghebremeskel is charged with accessory to murder after the fact.
Haile was found Christmas morning in the vicinity of the 2600 block of 36th Street S.E. suffering from gunshot wounds.
He later died in hospital.
Calgary police say a second suspect in the case, Yosief Hagos, is still at large.
He is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for second-degree murder in Haile's death.
Investigators say they are continuing to follow up on all leads in the case and appeal to the public for information about Hagos' whereabouts and the circumstances of the shooting.
"Members of the public may have information related to the whereabouts of Hagos, and we want to work with them to locate him. However, if anyone is attempting to assist Hagos in evading us, we are equally committed to holding them responsible," said Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson with the homicide unit.
