Police have charged four people in connection to the death of a Calgary father last year.
Trevor Lomond, 33, was found unconscious and suffering from life-threatening injuries at a house in the 1600 block of 42 Street S.W. at around 11 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016.
He died in hospital eight days later on Sept. 21.
On Wednesday, police announced that four men had been arrested and charged.
All four were arrested on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2017. Three were taken into custody in Calgary, while another was arrested in Edmonton.
“It is believed the incident resulted over a dispute over money and a possible outstanding debt,” a police news release said.
Police have charged Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan, 30, Abdulrizak Osman Jeyte, 30, Mahad Liban Dirir, 31 and Ahmed Mohamed Farah, 32, with one count each of first-degree murder and one count each of forcible confinement.
Farah is scheduled to appear in court on Friday. Hassan, Jeyte, and Dirir are scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 22.
Lomond’s mother, Sherry Duperre, described her son as having a beautiful, soft heart.
“A heart of gold – as I always told him,” she said. “He made friends easily and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He was always there to help. He was funny, smart and full of love. Trevor was a very honest person who would always help out his friends if he could.”
