EDMONTON (CityNews) – Charges have been laid after Edmonton police found the body of a 40-year-old man reported missing earlier this month.

Huran Baran was last seen on Jan. 22 and was thought to be driving a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 and was seen at a restaurant.

With help from tips from the public, officers searched the city’s southeast quadrant and found Baran’s truck.

Baran’s body was found in the driver’s seat.

Homicide investigators have charged 30-year-old Tristan Taschuk, with second-degree murder in relation to Baran’s death.

Police are asking if anyone has any information regarding the death of Baran or the activities of his red Dodge Ram to contact EPS at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online.
