A man who was found dead near an apartment building in the city's southwest on Friday has been identified and police are treating his death as a homicide.

Police were called to an assault in the 700 block of 67 Avenue S.W. at about 8:20 P.M. and found a man dead at the scene.

The man has been identified as 30-year-old Jordan Gregory Frydenlund and police believe his death was the result of a confrontation.

“He returned back to that residence and upon returning back to that residence he was involved in a confrontation with another party. That confrontation eventually led to his death,” said CPS A/Insp. Paul Wozney.

Police says they have interviewed several people and they are pursuing leads on a number of suspects.

“We are withholding the cause of death until charges are laid,” said Wozney. “I would not describe this as a random attack. I would suggest that the persons that were involved in this offence and the victim are known to one another.”

The investigation into Frydenlund’s death continues.

Police are asking anyone with information about this incident to call the Calgary Police Service non-emergency line at 403-266-1234. Tips can also be left anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers through either of the following methods:
