Police search for witnesses to violent assault

We are asking for witnesses or anyone with information about a violent assault that occurred in the northeast on Halloween night to come forward to police.

On Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, at approximately 11:55 p.m., we were called to the parking lot of a strip mall located at 4774 Westwinds Dr. N.E., for reports of an assault.

Upon arrival, investigators spoke to several witnesses and subsequently conducted a search of the area, however, it is believed the victim left the scene prior to police arrival.

Approximately an hour later, a man was brought to a nearby hospital suffering from severe injuries consistent with an assault. Police determined it was the same man who was assaulted earlier that night in the parking lot.

The victim remains in hospital in critical condition.

Investigators are now asking anyone who was in the area at the time of the assault, or who may have information that could help advance the investigation, to come forward to police. Any piece of information, no matter how small, may positively impact the investigation.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police by calling 403-266-1234. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers through any of the following methods:
