Edmonton police have charged a third suspect in a March 2022 shooting at a northside bar that killed one man and injured seven others.

Samatar Mohiadin, 26, is charged with first-degree murder in the March 12, 2022, death of Imbert George at the Ertale Lounge on 118 Avenue at 124 Street.

Police were called to the Ertale Lounge at 2:45 a.m., arriving to find eight people had been shot after 60-70 rounds of ammunition were fired into a crowd.

Officers followed a car fleeing the scene, leading to the arrests of Mohamod Mohamod, 23 and Said Ibrahim, 24, who have also been charged with first-degree murder.

Police in Winnipeg arrested Mohiadin on Dec. 3 in a drug trafficking and firearms investigation and transported him to Edmonton on Dec. 9.

Edmonton police say they identified Mohiadin on footage from surveillance cameras at 167 Avenue and 127 Street that they released to the public on April 12, 2022.

Two other men have already been arrested and charged in the mass shooting incident: Mohamod Mohamod, 23, and Said Ibrahim, 24.

Osman, 28, is wanted for charges that include first-degree murder. He is described as black with brown eyes and black hair, six feet tall, weighing 180 lb. with a scar on his right wrist.
