Police say the death of Sheldon Wolf — a Saskatchewan man who went missing from Calgary and whose body was later found north of the city — was a homicide and that they’ve charged the person responsible.
Wolf’s body was found off a rural road near Airdrie on Tuesday.
A day earlier, Calgary police asked the public for help finding the 47-year-old, saying he was last seen leaving the Sandman Hotel on 7 Avenue S.W. on Sunday.
Investigators searching in Elliston Park on Tuesday found evidence related to Wolf’s disappearance.
An autopsy done on Friday determined Wolf’s death was a homicide and police said they’d arrested “a man believed to be responsible.”
Fayiah (Victor) Briama, 23, was charged with first-degree murder in relation to Wolf’s death. The Calgary resident is set to appear in court on Monday, Feb. 10.
Wolf, a husband and father of two from Carrot River, Sask., was visiting Calgary with his wife at the time of his disappearance and death, though family who spoke to Global News said they didn’t know why the couple were in the city.
Police investigators believe he “willingly met with individuals who he had no previous relationship with” before coming to Calgary.
Police have not released any information on his cause of death.
