CALGARY – Investigators are asking for anyone who may have pictures or video of a deadly downtown stabbing last month to contact them.
18-year-old Lukas Strasser-Hird was killed in a violent altercation between two groups in a Beltline alley on Saturday, November 23, 2013.
Strasser-Hird and his friends had become involved in a flight outside Vinyl nightclub just before his death. Bar staff separated the two groups, ushering Strasser-Hird and his associates to the back door to let them leave safely.
However, the two groups met again in the alley, sparking a second fight.
Police found Strasser-Hird suffering from life-threatening injuries in the 200 block of 10 Avenue S.W. around 2:45 a.m. He was rushed to hospital where he later died.
Investigators believe that some onlookers may have used their cellphones to take photographs or record video of the altercations, and are asking anyone who did to send it to them.
Any videos can be sent to a special email address that has been established for this investigation at homicidetips@calgarypolice.ca.
Photographs can also be sent to this address or anonymously through Crime Stoppers using their online tips form that can be found at tttTIPS.com.
Police have charged three people with Strasser-Hird’s death, but say further charges are anticipated.

19-year-old Franz Emir Cabrera and 20-year-old Joch Pouk are both charged with second-degree murder.
