An autopsy was conducted Sept. 7. At that time police did not reveal the cause and manner of death “for investigative reasons,” but did rule the death as a homicide.

EPS have described Brashko as five-foot-four with a heavy build, and note he may walk with a limp. He is also known to frequent pawn shops.
Brashko is considered to be dangerous. Police are asking if anyone knows his whereabouts, to contact EPS at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
