However, the man facing the charge has not yet been taken into custody. Filimon Asmelash Asfiha, 34, is at large and is now wanted on a Canada-wide arrest warrant in connection with the death of Temesgen Tesfatsion, 35. Tesfachion was found suffering from a gunshot wound when police arrived at the Ambassador Restaurant and Bar, at 3504 17th Ave. SE, around 4:40 A.M. on August 21. The police tried to save his life, but he died on the spot. Asfikhas was identified through examination of CCTV footage and interviewing witnesses, police say. “We would like to thank the members of the community for coming forward to support our investigation,” Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson of the CPS homicide unit said in a statement issued Thursday. “We know citizens are upset and angry about the recent violence we’ve seen in our city, and we appreciate their support in moving this investigation forward.” Gregson says police believe someone was the target of the shooting that night, but that it wasn’t Tesfacion. “We believe that Temesgen was an innocent victim in this tragic event and not the intended target. We extend our deepest condolences to Temesgen’s friends and family and are doing everything we can to identify the accused,” Gregson said. Asfiha is described as a male, 5’11”, with a medium build and short, black hair. Anyone with information on Asfiha’s whereabouts is asked to call CPS at 403-266-1234 or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously by phone at 1-800-222-8477, online at P3Tips.com or using the P3 app Tips.
