Calgary police have arrested two suspects Saturday in connection to the fatal stabbing of an 18-year-old man in the city’s southeast.

Charges are still pending following the arrests.

Officers say around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, officers were called for reports of an assault involving a weapon at an athletic park near Copperstone Road.

When they arrived, investigators found a man, identified as Danillo Canales Glenn, suffering from stab wounds.
