Police are looking for a man wanted in connection with an assault that left a man critically injured early Monday morning in northeast Calgary.
Officers were called to a commercial strip mall in the 2000 block of 32nd Avenue N.E. at about 1 a.m. where they found a man in medical distress. He was taken to hospital, where he remains in life-threatening condition.
It's believed two groups of people outside Mike's Family Billiards got into a fight, culminating in the assault.
Police identified two suspects and arrested one of them, Kelsey Larry Houle, 21, the next day. He is charged with aggravated and common assault.
A second man, Daniel Deandre Sparks, 31, is still wanted by police. He is described as black with a medium build, about six feet tall and weighing about 200 pounds.
Investigators believe he has recently changed his appearance by adding shoulder-length dreadlock extensions to his hair.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call police or contact Crime Stoppers.
