Calgary Police have now charged a 20-year-old man they arrested on Thursday with second-degree murder in connection with the murder of Lukas Strasser-Hird.
Officers escorted the Assmar Ryiad Shlah into the Arrest Processing Unit late Thursday night.
He has been charged with second degree murder.
Emergency crews were called to an alley in the 200 block of 10 Avenue S.W. at about 2:45 a.m., on Saturday, November 23, 2013, for reports of a man needing medical assistance.
They found the man suffering from critical, life-threatening injuries and transported him to hospital, where he later died.
An autopsy confirmed that Lukas Strasser-Hird, 18, died as a result of stab wounds.
Police believe Strasser-Hird was involved in two altercations prior to his death.
