Two men, teen charged with first-degree murder in Calgary homicide

CALGARY — Two adults and a teen from Ottawa have been charged with murder in the death of a man in a south Calgary park earlier this week.

Police officers were sent out on Tuesday after witnesses reported a man inside a parked vehicle had been shot.

An autopsy has identified the victim as 23-year-old Christian Navos of Edmonton.

A police helicopter was used to locate a suspect vehicle and tracked it until an arrest was made.

First-degree murder charges have been laid against Joseph Chlala, 19; and 35-year-old Troy Lemke, both of Calgary; and a 15-year-old male from Ottawa.

All three are to appear in court Monday.
