First-degree murder warrants have been issued for two people alleged to have been involved in the death of a Calgary Police Service officer.
Al-Azan Shah MUHAMMAD, 17, and Amir ABDULRAHMAN, 19, both of Calgary, are sought in connection with the incident around 10:50 p.m., on Thursday, Dec. 31, 2020.
Application was made to the Youth Division of Calgary Provincial Court in order to identify the youth charged in this case.
MUHAMMAD, the alleged driver, and ABDULRAHMAN, his passenger, were in a sport utility vehicle that was stopped by Sgt. Andrew Harnett in the area of Falconridge Boulevard and Falconridge Drive N.E. The vehicle fled the traffic stop and struck Sgt. Harnett. Other officers were nearby and rendered aid as quickly as possible, while EMS rushed to their side.
