A 28-year-old woman has been charged in connection with the death of a 31-year-old man in central Edmonton earlier this month.
In a news release issued Wednesday, the Edmonton Police Service said Laura Blowers has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Harley Norman.
Norman was found injured in the area of 105 Street and 111 Avenue on May 1 at about 11:30 a.m. after police officers received a call about a weapon in the area. He was taken to hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Police said an autopsy was conducted on May 4 which determined Norman died from “a single stab wound.”
According to police, transit peace officers with the City of Edmonton found Blowers in the area of 106 Avenue and 95 Street on Monday, May 2, and then contacted police. Police did not explain whether Blowers was already a suspect at that point but said the peace officers recognized her.
“Police are not looking for any additional suspects,” the EPS said.
When asked for details about where exactly the victim was found, an EPS spokesperson did not give a location but told Global News it was “not on the train or on transit property.”
