Police are investigating a possible homicide after a man died following an early-morning altercation in Calgary’s northeast yesterday. Around 3 a.m., police were called to an apartment complex in Taradale. Upon arrival, they immediately took one man into custody after finding a second man injured on the ground.

Anthony Cordoviz has lived in the neighbourhood for over five years and said it was a shock to see the crime scene outside his door yesterday. “The neighbourhood is good, we’ve had no incidents here,” he said. “It’s unfortunate that it did happen in our neighbourhood.” Staff Sgt.

Officers are continuing to question the man in custody. “We think they are known to each other, and that’s part of our investigation, to determine what exactly that relationship is,” said Miller. “He seemed to play a role in whatever disturbance there was there, and it just takes time to sort our exactly what his role was.” The victim’s identity and cause of death will be determined during an autopsy, which is scheduled for today. It would be the city’s fifth homicide of 2011.
