Calgary police say several people connected with an Upper Mount Royal killing earlier this summer are still at large.
Calgary man Devon William Shedrick was charged with first-degree murder in the death of 34-year-old Shawn Garry McCormack Sept. 28.
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 present and involved in McCormack’s death, and expect to arrest others “as the investigation progresses.”
The motive for his killing is still unclear, police say.

Officers say after investigating further, they believe McCormack was killed at a home in the southeast Calgary community of Forest Lawn.
They add several people moved McCormack’s body from Forest Lawn to an alleyway in Upper Mount Royal, where police found him the morning of Sunday, July 3.
“While we have charged one individual, this investigation is far from over,” Staff-Sgt. Martin Schiavetta with the Calgary Police Service said. “We believe that additional people were involved in the homicide, which took place in Forest Lawn, as well as in aiding the suspects after the incident. We will not stop investigating and reviewing evidence until everyone who was involved is arrested and held accountable.”
Officers are also 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.
