CALGARY — Police have issued a Canada-wide warrant in relation to a stabbing death in downtown Calgary last month.
The stabbing on April 15 happened during an altercation between two people that led to the death of 49-year-old Russell David Younker of Calgary.
A tip from the public helped identify one of the individuals as a potential suspect, but found he had moved out of his residence and potentially left Calgary.
Police are now looking for Christopher Mathers, who is 34.
He's believed to have connections in London, Ont., Halifax, Nova Scotia and British Columbia.
Police say they believe the victim and the accused knew each other and the altercation was a follow up to a previous incident that occurred between the two.
