Calgary police investigators said late Thursday night that they have cleared five men they had earlier sought as persons of interest in an April 3 shooting in a restaurant parking lot that left two men dead.
Officers were called to a parking lot outside the Mazaj Lounge and Restaurant on 37 Avenue N.E. at about 3:15 a.m. for reports of a shooting.
Police found two men shot inside a vehicle. One was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was taken to hospital where he later died.
The men were identified a day later as 25-year-old Jasdeep Singh of Calgary and 22-year-old Japneet Malhi of Airdrie.
On Thursday, police released photos of five different men seen in the restaurant in the time leading up to the shootings that were believed to be associated. They have since been cleared as well.
Anyone who attended the restaurant on the evening of April 2 or the early morning of April 3, is asked to contact Calgary police at 403-428-8877 or at 403-266-1234, or to anonymously contact Crime Stoppers.
