CALGARY – The Calgary Police Service Homicide Unit is investigating the death of a man in the community of Highland Park.

Officers were called to the 4200 block of Centre Street N.W. at around 9 a.m. on Wednesday by a witness who spotted a man covered in blood.

Police said they had spoken with three witnesses in total.

Anyone who may have been in the area at the time is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
