A 28-year-old man is dead after a Christmas morning shooting in central Edmonton, say police. Investigators at the scene said the man had been attending a Christmas party that spilled outside before he was shot. At 25, the number is one of the lowest the city has recorded since 2001, a year Edmonton counted 23 homicides. You know some bad things happen and it’s just those things can flare up and they can also go down.”Edmonton recorded a Christmas Day homicide back in 2017, when Eddie Eugene Melenka, 48, found dead in an Avonmore home in the early hours of the day. Wednesday’s Christmas Day shooting comes after the Dec. 3 killing of Arthur Charles Edward Beauchamp, 45.
