MEDICINE HAT – Two men are in custody following Medicine Hat’s second homicide of the year.

Police were called to a disturbance and injury of a male in the 500 block of 21 St. NE in the early hours Saturday, Nov. 5. Emergency crews performed first aid on a 24 year old man who was then taken to Medicine Hat Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

According to police a 21 year old man was arrested on scene for murder. A second 21 year old man was located early afternoon after police put out a request for assistance from the public.

Both men are now in custody in relation to the homicide. Medicine Hat Police say they believe it was a targeted attack.

“We don’t think this was random,” said Inspector Brent Secondiak. “We know there was a disturbance in front of the residence on the street, we believe they were aware of each other.”
