Police say a second man has been charged in connection to a fatal stabbing in north central Edmonton on Sunday.

The EPS said Friday 32-year-old Byron Cardinal was charged with second-degree murder and assault with a weapon in connection to the death of Tjijandjeua Gift Tjaveondja.

This comes after the same charges were laid against a 31-year-old man Thursday.

Investigators say more people may have been involved in an altercation that took place near 118 Avenue and 101 Street, which might have resulted in Tjaveondja’s stabbing.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
