At 1:39 a.m. on May 15, 2024, police responded to a report of an injured male on the sidewalk at 102 Street and Kingsway. When police arrived, they located an unresponsive 34-year-old male with serious injuries. EMS treated and transported him to hospital, where he later died.
In the days that followed, a suspect, Irvin Badarm, 31, was identified and found to have also committed a robbery at the Kingsway transit station about an hour before the murder. On May 18, 2024, police arrested Badarm and charged him with second degree murder and robbery. Investigators do not believe Badarm knew either the robbery or the homicide victim.
On May 21, 2024, the Edmonton Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy and determined that the murder victim, Clinton Quintal, 34, died of multiple stab wounds. The manner of death was confirmed to be homicide.
Detectives believed there were other suspects involved in both the robbery and the murder and issued a media release seeking the public’s assistance. On Oct. 24, 2024, Adam Chinery, 35, was arrested and charged with second degree murder. Chinery did not take part in the robbery.
Police are no longer seeking any additional suspects.
