Search continues for witnesses in the murder of Russell YOUNKER

Information from witnesses is often a crucial piece of any investigation and while we have located one person believed to have information about the murder of Russell YOUNKER, we continue to look for a man and are now looking for a third individual.

On Friday, April 16, 2021, we released CCTV photos and videos of a man and a woman believed to have information valuable to the homicide investigation. We have since located the woman, though we have yet to speak to the man. While we continue to search for him, we are also looking to speak to a third person believed to have information that would assist the investigation.

The man is described as between 25 and 35 years old, approximately six feet tall, between 200 and 220 pounds. He was wearing blue jeans, a black or grey hoodie, a black and red Toronto Blue Jays hat and black shoes with white soles. Photos of the man are available on the City of Calgary Newsroom.

Anyone with information on the identities of these individuals is asked to call the Homicide Tip Line at 403-428-8877, or the CPS non-emergency line at 403-266-1234. Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers through any of the following methods:
