The street where the incident occurred is known to the Calgary Police Service.

In 2016, police raided a residence on the 600 block of 68 Avenue S.W. as part of a months-long drug trafficking probe that prompted two suspects to take off on foot, discarding drugs as they ran, CPS said at the time.

And in 2012, CPS was called to the same home to investigate a suspicious death.
