Calgary police have laid charges in a brazen daytime shooting in the community of Monterey Park almost four years ago that left one man dead.
The shooting happened in an alley in the 100 block of Del Ray Road N.E. at around 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 13, 2015 — and killed 26-year-old Hussein Merhi.
On Wednesday, police announced 26-year-old Joseph Trieu had been charged with one count of accessory to murder after the fact.
The charge is related to a dark-coloured SUV seen leaving the area after the shooting. The Calgary Police Service said the SUV was found at Trieu’s parent’s house in northwest Calgary.
“Trieu was reported to have put the SUV in his parents’ garage approximately 11 hours following the murder,” CPS explained in a news release.

Police have also issued a warrant for the arrest of a second man, 23-year-old Kier Bryan Granado, who is wanted for first-degree murder.
Police said Granado and the victim were known to each other, and that the shooting is believed to be a targeted attack.
Investigators think Grando may be living in Edmonton, and are hoping the public will help officers locate him.
