Calgary police have one man in custody in connection to a death in Acadia this week.
18-year-old Joshua Hogarth was found dead at this southeast condo complex on Tuesday morning.
Officials have been treating his death as suspicious, saying a knife was found nearby.
Police arrested an acquaintance of the Hogarth family on Wednesday, saying he was staying at this hotel on Macleod Trail.
The victim was just days away from returning to school at the University of British Columbia, and his loved ones are left trying to understand why anyone would kill him.
His mother, Debbie Hogarth, says there are no words to describe how she is feeling, and she’s still reeling from the news.
“He came home at 12:30 Monday night and he was yelling on the phone, and I got out of bed and I said ‘what is going on?’” says Debbie.
According to Debbie, Joshua was arguing with a friend who he then went to meet.
It wasn’t until the next morning that she realized Joshua’s fate, when her son called her with the news.
Joshua’s family says the young man will be remembered for his politeness, and willingness to give loved ones a hug.
The suspect in police custody has not yet been formally charged.
