Police seek witnesses in sexual assault investigation

04 Nov 2025 21:16:08 UT

Edmonton Police Service (EPS) investigators are looking to speak with the occupants of a vehicle who may have important information about a sexual assault that occurred in August.

On Aug. 22, 2025, between 11:15 and 11:30 p.m., a female complainant was walking in the area of Whyte Avenue and 107 Street when she was attacked from behind and sexually assaulted. The female screamed, a vehicle travelling down 107 Street stopped to assist, and the suspect fled in an unknown direction. The occupants of the vehicle offered the complainant a ride out of the area.

Detectives have since exhausted all other investigative avenues, including canvassing the area for security footage, and are hoping to speak with the occupants of the vehicle who assisted the complainant on the night of the assault. These individuals, or anyone who knows of their identities, are asked to come forward to police, as they may have important information that could advance the investigation.

The EPS is asking the people in question or anyone with any information about this assault to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information may also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.

The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is investigating a fatal collision involving a child that occurred in the city’s northwest.

Around 10 a.m., a 25-year-old female driver of a Jeep Cherokee was coming out of the parking lot of a residential complex in the McConachie neighbourhood.

The EPS Major Collisions Investigation Section (MCIS) is investigating and does not believe speed or alcohol was a factor in this collision.

Additionally, EPS’s Crime and Trauma Support Section (CTSS) attended the scene to provide support.

Seven individuals charged after lengthy firearms investigation

28 Oct 2025 17:57:18 UT

The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) Firearms Investigation Unit has charged seven individuals with conspiracy to commit intimidation, intimidation, and extortion in relation to two separate shootings and an arson investigation.

The investigation, which took roughly eight months, centered on a shooting that occurred on March 11, 2025, where multiple rounds were discharged in the Queen Alexandra neighbourhood.

On April 20th, 2025, a related arson occurred where explosive substances were used, also in the Queen Alexandra neighbourhood. This arson caused significant property damage, but thankfully no injuries were reported.

On June 18th, 2025, police executed multiple search warrants throughout Edmonton in relation to this investigation. Officers seized numerous items, including prohibited firearms and explosive devices. Follow-up investigations revealed that the firearm used in the March 11, 2025, shooting was smuggled into Canada illegally from California and was used in another unrelated home invasion in Edmonton on March 13, 2025.

Kamil Issa, 52, Arkadiusz Prokopczyk, 51, Shannon Kerr, 42, Brandon Regamey, 29, Courtney Lemke, 38, Marc Lemke, 43, Robin Dixon, 27, have been charged with a combined total of 52 offences, including intimidation and extortion, harassment, arson, possession of explosive substance, and numerous firearms-related offences.

“While we believe these incidents were targeted, the seriousness of the offences posed a significant threat to public safety. This investigation was lengthy and complex and held to our priority of ensuring accountability for those responsible,” says Acting Inspector David Graham of the EPS Organized Crime Branch.

Police investigating fatal motorcycle collision in southeast

28 Oct 2025 15:28:25 UT

The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is investigating following a fatal motorcycle collision in southeast Edmonton.

On Friday, October 24, 2025, at approximately 8:10 p.m., a Triumph Daytona motorcycle was travelling northbound on 50 Street towards the intersection at Millwoods Road South. At the same time, a Honda Fit was turning left on Millwoods Road South from 50 Street.

The two vehicles collided. Sadly, the 43-year-old motorcyclist died on the scene. The 31-year-old driver of the Fit was uninjured.

The EPS Major Collisions Investigation Section (MCIS) has since taken over the investigation. It is believed that speed was a factor in the collision.

“Our officers have stood on too many roadsides where speed turned a simple mistake into something no one could take back,” says Staff Sergeant Mike Wasylyshen of the EPS Traffic Services Branch. “The hardest part is knowing that someone’s family has lost their loved one and there’s nothing we can do to make it less painful.”

This is the 28th fatal collision of 2025.
