Murder charges laid in southeast Calgary – Calgary

Calgary police have charged a man in connection with a homicide in the southeast suburb of Prestwick earlier this week.

Around 8:25 a.m. Monday, police said they were called to a residence in the 300 block of Southeast Prestwick Terrace for a report of an assault. Police found a man dead at the scene. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived.

Officers arrested a man a short time later at a nearby shopping plaza, according to the Calgary Police Service. Police said they are not looking for other suspects.

The homicide victim was identified Tuesday as Joel Aaron Clark, 46, of Calgary.

The CPS announced in a press release Wednesday that the manslaughter charges have been filed.

Police said the murder was the result of a dispute between the victim and the accused, adding that Clark was the owner of the house at the time of the incident. The two were living together at the Prestwick residence at the time of the incident, according to a press release Wednesday.

Ryan Kinoshita, 29, has been charged with second-degree murder and is scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

CPS asks anyone with information about the incident to call police at 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers.
