Officers were called to the 100 block of Hampstead Close N.W. at around 3 a.m. on Sunday after a man in his 40s was found dead in the home.
On Wednesday, the Calgary Police Service (CPS) said an autopsy had determined the victim was 49-year-old Bikramjit Dhindsa of Calgary.
According to a news release from the CPS, evidence at the scene has led investigators to believe that Dhindsa’s death was targeted.
“Police believe that four unknown offenders entered the above residence and targeted the victim inside,” CPS stated. “It is believed an altercation then occurred between the suspects and the victim.”
Police have released pictures from CCTV footage in the area showing four suspects leaving the area in a small, four-door SUV driven by a fifth suspect.
