A Calgary man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of 34-year-old Shawn Garry McCormack.
McCormack was found dead in the southwest community of Upper Mount Royal in July, and police confirmed his killing was targeted.
Investigators believe several people were involved in McCormack’s death, and expect to arrest others “as the investigation progresses.”
The motive for his killing is still unclear, police say.
Police found McCormack’s body the morning of Sunday, July 3, after they were called to an alleyway behind the 1100 block of Frontenac Avenue SW.

Officers arrested 29-year-old Devon William Shedrick Tuesday and charged him with first-degree murder Wednesday.
“Our detectives have worked tirelessly to progress this investigation,” said Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta with Calgary Police. “We know that multiple people were involved and we expect to make additional arrests in this case.”
Officers are still looking for information about a “unique” comforter that was left at the scene where McCormack’s body was found. The comforter has an image of a dream catcher and two white birds on it.
