Calgary police looking for man who pointed gun at victim during July robbery

UPDATE: Police said on Jan. 31, 2020 that a suspect was identified and wanted on warrants. 

Warrants have been issued for a young Calgary man’s arrest in relation to a July incident where a man was reportedly robbed at gunpoint.

Calgary police asked the public for help in November finding a man they say pointed a gun at a person and demanded bank cards and PINs.

Three suspects were chatting with a Cowboys Casino customer around 1:15 a.m. on July 14, before convincing them to come to one of their vehicles.

When the person got in the vehicle, one of the suspects threatened them with a gun.

The victim managed to get out of the vehicle and the one man ran away. The two other suspects were arrested, but the man who pointed the gun is still at large, police said.

Investigators believe the man they’re looking to find was also involved in a break-in that happened between 10 p.m. on Aug. 31 and 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 1, in the 0-100 block of Pantego Avenue N.W.

Police believe he got into the home through the garage and stole a wallet and keys to two vehicles, which were also taken.

Thanks to tips from the public, investigators identified the third suspect they were looking for.

Jonah Coy is wanted on warrants for the following charges:

• Robbery with a prohibited firearm
• Unlawful confinement
• Unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle
• Possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition
• Careless use of a firearm
• Possession of a firearm without a licence
• Three counts of breaching a court order

The 22-year-old is described as being 5’10” tall with a slim build, black hair and brown eyes.
