On Saturday, March 12, 2022, at approximately 2:45 a.m., police responded to the report of shots fired at Ertale lounge, located at 124 Street and 118 Avenue in Edmonton. Upon arrival, police located multiple victims outside the establishment.
EMS responded, treated, and transported two females and four males to hospital with various injuries. A fifth injured male attended a hospital on his own. One of the male victims, identified as Imbert George, 28, succumbed to his injuries. Investigators have since determined that the suspects allegedly fired approximately 70 rounds in a crowded area, and all seven victims were innocent bystanders who were randomly struck.
Two men were charged in relation to the murder but Saed Osman, 27, is still outstanding. Osman is wanted for first degree murder, discharging a firearm with intent to endanger life (x6) and multiple other firearms offences. He is also known by the alias Guled Osman, and/or the nickname Styles.
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.
Wanted: Saed Osman, 29
First degree murder
