The Edmonton Police Service says a second person has now been charged in connection with a fatal stabbing that occurred in the area of 102nd Street and Kingsway in the spring.
At 1:39 a.m. on May 15, police were called to the scene of an injured man spotted on a sidewalk. They found an unresponsive man. He was treated at the scene and taken to hospital by paramedics where he later died.
An autopsy determined the man died of multiple stab wounds and that he was the victim of a homicide. He was later identified by police as 34-year-old Clinton Quintal.

Days after the killing, police identified a suspect and arrested 31-year-old Irvin Badarm. He was charged with second-degree murder and also with robbery in connection with an incident at the Kingsway transit station about an hour before Quintal was stabbed.
“Investigators do not believe Badarm knew either the robbery or the homicide victim,” police said.
Police had said investigators believe there may be another suspect in the killing.
On Oct. 24, police arrested 35-year-old Adam Chinery and charged him with second-degree murder. They do not suspect he was involved in the transit station robbery.
Police said they are no longer seeking any additional suspects.
