A Calgary man accused of killing a city acupuncturist last summer will face trial more than two years after the deadly altercation.

Jin Qing Huang, 43, faces a charge of first-degree murder in the June 2016 death of Tiejun Huang.

The two are not related.

Huang, 51, was stabbed to death at a medical clinic near the intersection of 16 Avenue and Centre Street North.

A woman at the Perpetual Wellness Chinese Medicine Centre was also injured.
