Two people have been charged in connection to a homicide last year.
Last June, police were called to a home on Marcombe Drive N.E. Investigators believe it was a targeted home invasion robbery.
Inside they found three injured people, two men and a woman. One man, 53-year-old Cuong Viet Doan of Calgary, died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
Two men are now charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, assault with a weapon and forcible confinement.
Police are looking for a woman for conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and other charges.
The charges come after police asked for public help last October in finding a late-model sport utility vehicle that was seen leaving the area of a homicide.
