Calgary police have laid charges in connection with the death of a man found badly beaten in a Safeway parking lot last summer.
The victim was discovered in the south end of the Whitehorn grocery store’s parking lot at around 2 p.m. on Thursday, July 18, 2019.
A Good Samaritan flagged down police officers driving in the area. They performed first aid and called paramedics who rushed the man to hospital, but he later died.
