Madisson Cobb was shot to death inside a parkade, in the 8700 block of Horton Road, in the southwest Calgary community of Haysboro around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, 2025.
Police said it was a targeted shooting while the 23-year-old Cobb, who was from Okotoks, was walking to her vehicle after finishing work.
On Tuesday, police announced 26-year-old Devon Bradley Malik of Calgary has been charged with first-degree murder.
Police said Malik and Cobb were previously in a relationship that ended earlier this year.
Global News has learned that just six weeks ago, Cobb had a restraining order issued against her former boyfriend.
In her statement, filed in court, Cobb detailed intense harassment from the man following their breakup in January of this year, including dozens of calls and text messages.
She said he also created fake social media accounts to try to contact her.
The documents say Malik owned a gun, and at one point his aunt sent a message to Cobb telling her she feared for her safety.
The restraining order banned Malik from being near Cobb’s home in Okotoks as well as her workplace, which was located in the shopping complex near Heritage Road and Macleod Trail where she lost her life.
Malik made his first court appearance on Wednesday.
One of his relatives was also in court as an observer.
She didn’t want to be identified, but made it clear she was there not to support her nephew, but to show her support for Cobb.
Malik was remanded in custody and will appear in court again on Aug. 5, 2025.
