Tyler Sanderson, 24, fatally assaulted last May
Calgary police are trying to find a fourth suspect in connection with a violent assault last year that killed Tyler Sanderson, in what investigators think was a drug deal gone wrong.
The suspect was seen in the Dover area in southeast Calgary shortly after Sanderson was fatally attacked near his home in Marlborough Park on May 15, 2016, police say.
Two men and a woman have already been charged with second-degree murder in relation to the attack.
Investigators believe Sanderson, 24, managed to get home that night, having sustained serious injuries from an apparent assault.
He then collapsed in his yard, where he was found by family members. He later died in hospital.

Lori Ann Heavenfire, 34, was the first suspect to be charged with second-degree murder in July last year.
A few weeks later, the same charge was laid against Dylan Irvin George Calf, 24.
And in September last year, Justin Cecil Scott, 31, was the third suspect to be charged with second-degree murder.
Scott, also known as Burburry Britt, who is being held at the Calgary Remand Centre.
Police described the fourth suspect as a black man believed to be an associate of Scott.
Investigators say the fourth suspect took property that belonged to the victim, and it has not yet been recovered.
Anyone with information about the fourth suspect is asked to call the homicide tip line at 403-428-877 or contact Crime Stoppers.
