Saed Osman is wanted for first degree murder in the March 2022 shooting at Ertale Lounge in Edmonton. In May 2025, additional warrants for first degree murder were issued for Osman in relation to a December 2020 shooting in central Edmonton. He is Number 9 on the Bolo Program’s new Top 25 list.
Wanted: Saed Osman, 30
First degree murder x2
Reward: Up to $50,000
A reward of up to $50,000 is offered by Bolo, in cooperation with Crime Stoppers Association of Edmonton & Northern Alberta, for any information leading to Osman’s arrest. The reward is available until June 9, 2026. For more information about the reward and the case, visit https://boloprogram.org/osman/.
Osman was originally included in the Bolo Top 25 in 2022. At that time, a Bolo reward was offered for any information leading to his arrest. That reward expired in 2024.
“The Bolo Program is a valued partner in supporting police services with the resources to offer these incentives for tipsters to come forward,” says Acting Inspector Colin Leathem, with EPS Major Crimes Branch. “And now that Osman is wanted for first degree murder in two separate homicides, we are pleased to see that this $50,000 reward has been re-activated.”
“As long as you evade arrest, we will never stop looking for you, Mr. Osman. Sooner or later, you will be apprehended,” said Bolo Program Executive Director Maxime Langlois.
Osman is from Ontario, but has strong ties to Edmonton, where he may still reside. He is described as a Black male with brown eyes and black hair, which was previously known to be braided. He is six feet tall, weighs approximately 180 pounds, and has a scar on his right wrist. He is also known by the alias Guled Osman, and/or the nickname Styles.
Osman may be armed, is considered dangerous and should not be approached. Investigators are urging anyone with information regarding his whereabouts to contact the EPS directly at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.
The Bolo Program was launched in May 2018 by the Stephan Crétier Foundation as a way to amplify priority wanted notices issued by Canadian police services. For more information on Bolo and its Top 25, visit boloprogram.org.
