Investigators believe Turzo has left the country.

He is described as 5’5” tall and approximately 160 pounds.

It happened at about 3:40 a.m. Sunday in the community of Ranchlands in northwest Calgary when officers responded to reports of shots fired.

Police say they found two men suffering from gunshot wounds.

One man was declared dead at the scene and the other was sent to hospital in serious condition — although police say he has now been released.

Police said Tuesday an autopsy on the man who died confirmed his identity as Stallone Leonard Mark Clare.

Anyone who may know where he is is asked to call police at 403-266-1234. You can also leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
