The body of Harsimran Singh Birdi, 20, was found in an alley in Harvest Hills on April 7, 2016.

Police have laid charges in the death of Harsimran Singh Birdi, whose body was found in an alley in northeast Calgary more than a year ago.

Officers were called to an alley in the 9700 block of Harvest Hills Link N.E. at about 8:30 a.m. on April 7, 2016 where they found the 20-year-old’s lifeless body.

Police arrested two men on Monday, reiterating they believe the killing was “targeted.”

In November 2017, police made two separate pleas for help in the case, asking the public to identify three persons of interest and two vehicles related to the homicide.

Abdullah Mela, 21, of Calgary has been charged with second-degree murder.

Nadar Abdulbaki, also 21 and from Calgary, has been charged with accessory after the fact to murder.

Both men are scheduled to appear in court this week.
