Police are asking the public for help in finding a suspect after a man was found stabbed to death in a home in the northwest Calgary community of Panorama Hills on Wednesday morning.
Police were called to the home on Pantanella Court N.W. at about 10:45 a.m. after it was reported a man had been stabbed. EMS was also called and found the man dead at the scene.
An autopsy performed on Thursday identified the victim as 20-year-old Kyreese George Wright.
On Thursday morning, Calgary police confirmed 19-year-old Michael Elendu — who had previously been named as a “person of interest” in the attack — is now wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.
He is described as being six feet three inches tall with a slim build, brown eyes and black hair.
