Temesgen Tesfatsion, a 35-year-old Calgary man, was found suffering from a gunshot wound when police arrived at the facility, at 3504 17th Avenue SE, around 4:40 a.m. on August 21. The police tried to save his life, but he died on the spot. Police are now looking for a suspect. “Our investigators are in the process of reviewing CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses associated with the location and those who were present that night,” said Sgt. Sean Gregson of the CPS homicide unit in a statement Wednesday. “We believe it was a targeted attack inside the restaurant and are investigating the motive behind the shooting and whether the target was the victim or one of his associates.” Investigators are currently looking for a man described as being in his 30s, around 180cm (6’2″) of medium build, with short black hair. Gregson asked anyone with information about the incident or the suspect to call police or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously. Meanwhile, police are still looking for a suspect in the shooting death of Nakita Baron. Baron, a 31-year-old Calgary woman, was killed Aug. 18 in the Evergreen community. A second person who was shot at the scene remains in hospital in stable condition. Police are again seeking the public’s help in locating the perpetrator. Investigators previously released CCTV images of a suspect in the shooting and are again asking anyone with information about his identity or whereabouts to call police or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously.
