Calgary police have charged a 25 year-old man in three weekend stabbing’s and say they are looking for another suspect.
On the evening of Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014, three separate people were stabbed. Two of these incidents are believed to have been random.
At approximately 6:15 p.m, a man in his 30’s was in the area of 17th Avenue and 37 Street S.W., when he was approached by three men.
He attempted to leave the area, but was followed and cornered by the men.
One of the men stabbed the victim, at which time he fled the area and sought help at the CPS District 2 office.
He was transported to a local hospital by EMS.
About 15 minutes later, around 6:30 p.m., a man in his mid-20’s was walking with a friend on 17th Avenue S.W., near Westbrook Mall when the pair were approached by two men who were attempting to provoke an altercation.
One of the suspects then stabbed the man and fled the area.
The victim called 911 and was transported to a local hospital by EMS, where he was treated and released.
Two hours after that stabbing, around 8:40 p.m., a man in his 30’s was found unconscious in a residence in the 2400 block of 17 Ave. S.W., suffering from stab wounds.
EMS transported the victim to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery.
Police arrested a suspect in the case on Wednesday, and have charged 25 year-old Dayna Lawrence Noname of Calgary with three counts of aggravated assault.
He remains in custody, and is scheduled to appear in provincial court this morning.
Police continue to search for a second person of interest.
The investigation indicates the first two incidents were random and the victims were not known to the offenders.
The victim in the third case is known to the accused and is believed to have been present during the first incident, but was not involved.
