Timothy Voytilla, 44, died after being dropped off at the Peter Lougheed Centre with a gunshot wound just before midnight on April 30.

On Thursday, Calgary police released new information in the case and said that two people had been taken into custody in connection with Voytilla’s death.

At the time of the murder, police said that Voytilla was known to them and that his death wasn’t believed to be a random attack.

“My brother has family and friends good and bad,” Trahan explained.

She added that her parents plan to attend every court appearance for the accused.

“We want to be there,” she explained. “My mom and dad … I know they’re going to be there for every court date, everything. We all are.”

The names of the men arrested haven’t yet been released.
