🔵 UPDATE 🔵 A woman is recovering following an altercation that occurred last week in the northwest community of Edgemont, which resulted in the death of 1 man. 📍 At approx. 4:15 p.m., on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026, we were called to the 0 to 100 block of Edgemont Court N.W., for reports of an altercation inside a residence. Upon arrival, police located a man in his 40s in medical distress, as well as a woman in her 30s who had sustained injuries. The man was pronounced deceased on scene & the woman was transported to hospital in stable condition. A witness was also located at the scene who was uninjured. After a thorough investigation, police believe that the man had lured the woman to the residence under a false pretence of a property showing. While in the residence, the man attacked the woman without provocation. An altercation ensued, which resulted in the death of the man. The woman was able to escape the residence & get the attention of neighbours, who called 911. The man & woman were not involved in a domestic relationship. An autopsy was conducted today, Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026, by The Office of the Chief Medical, which identified the man as 48-year-old Shahbaz AHMED. As investigators have determined that the woman was acting in self-defence, AHMED’s death has been deemed a non-culpable homicide & no charges will be laid in this incident. “An incident of this nature is extremely rare & deeply unsettling for the victim, her family & all Calgarians,” says Acting Staff Sergeant Scott Guterson of the CPS Homicide Unit. “The victim’s actions undoubtedly saved her life & our thoughts are with her as she continues to recover.” To protect the privacy of the victim, no further details will be released. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police by calling the non-emergency number. Information? ☎️ CPS: 403-266-1234 🛑 Crime Stoppers YYC ⚖ Case #: CA26012942 | 4786 🌐

The body of a child has been located during today’s search for Parker. If the body is Parker’s, it is believed he entered a culvert in a green space on the west side of Deerfoot Trail and travelled up a pipe and into a network of tunnels on the east side of the roadway. 📍 On Tuesday, July 28, 2026, we received a tip from a member of the public who had located a shoe, believed to have belonged to Parker. Search teams recovered the other shoe at the edge of a culvert. It is believed the shoes had been washed down the pipe some time after the initial search. As a result, the pipe system was searched by specialized teams from the Calgary Fire Department and a child’s body was located. This green space area contains incredibly harsh terrain and is part of a water environment. As with any search involving water, environmental conditions can influence what can be observed and when evidence may become visible. During the past two weeks, we had conducted searches of the area for Parker, however, there was no evidence located that would suggest a more thorough search of the area was required. This is not the outcome anyone hoped for. Like so many others, we hoped Parker would be brought home safely. Our thoughts are with Parker's family, loved ones and all those affected by this devastating loss. We know people across the world have spent the past 13 days sharing Parker's information, searching for him and holding onto hope for his safe return. We extend our sincere gratitude to the thousands of community members, volunteers, partner agencies and members of the media who assisted in the search effort. The compassion, dedication and support shown throughout this investigation have been extraordinary. ℹ️ At this time, there is no evidence that criminality was involved in Parker's disappearance. Search operations are complex and are influenced by factors including terrain, vegetation, weather conditions, visibility and the information available to investigators at the time. While search teams worked extensively and thoroughly throughout this investigation, it is not always possible to completely eliminate every possibility within a broad-scale search area. Parker's family is asking for privacy as they grieve the loss of their son.

We are launching a 90-day Drone as First Responder (DFR) trial to evaluate how remotely piloted drones can support emergency response & public safety. ℹ️ The trial will assess the effectiveness of drones in improving situational awareness, supporting operational decision-making & enhancing public & officer safety. Beginning Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026, 2 Skydio X10 drones will be deployed to select incidents in northeast & southeast Calgary. The drones will provide responding members with real-time aerial information to help them better understand unfolding incidents & determine the most appropriate response. 💬 “The Drone as First Responder model has been successfully implemented by other police agencies & has shown potential to enhance emergency response. This trial will help us determine how the technology can support public safety in Calgary by providing responding officers with valuable information about an incident, often before they arrive on scene.” — Supt. Jodi Gach of the CPS Operational Support Division. The drones are deployed from a secure location in northeast Calgary. When an eligible call for service is identified, a sworn CPS member trained as a drone pilot can remotely deploy a drone to the scene. In some cases, the drone may arrive before responding officers, providing an early view of the incident that can help members identify risks, locate individuals & make informed operational decisions. While we have used drones for several years to support public safety operations, including emergency incidents, searches & investigations, DFR introduces a new deployment model that allows drones to respond directly to select calls for service & provide information during the early stages of an incident. ℹ️ The use of drones for the trial has been approved by Transport Canada. The trial will be conducted in accordance with Transport Canada regulations & CPS policies. 🌐 More information about the CPS use of drones & the DFR trial can be found here: 📺 Watch the full media availability here:

As the search for Parker continues, we want to provide insight into how search teams are using technology, expertise and investigative information to guide ongoing search efforts. In this video, Staff Sgt. Becky Spohr, Incident Commander for the search, explains how specialized mapping and search-management tools are helping teams document search activity, track coverage, analyze information and identify areas that may require further attention. 🗺️ To date, search teams have covered more than 6,500 kilometres as part of the effort to locate Parker. While technology plays an important role, it is only one part of the process. Every search operation is guided by investigative information, specialized search planning, and the collective expertise of investigators, search managers, partner agencies and trained volunteers. We know many people have questions about the search and the work taking place behind the scenes. While we cannot share every tactic being used or location being searched, we hope this video provides some perspective on the deliberate and systematic approach being taken to bring Parker home. We would also like to thank the hundreds of CPS members, partner agencies, trained search-and-rescue volunteers and community members who continue to support this effort.
