Edmonton police said an individual had been charged in connection to the fatal stabbing of a man, who was found dead Sunday afternoon.
On Sunday, April 30, EPS were called to the area of 106 Street and 61 Avenue on a weapons complaint at about 3:15 p.m.
When officers and paramedics arrived on the scene, they found a deceased male outside the back of the home, with what appeared to be a stab wound.
Hours later, detectives arrested an injured male suspect in hospital – their investigation revealed a fight had escalated to the stabbing.
On Monday, police said Jayson Lunag Bay-Ag, 32, had been charged with second degree murder.
