A 44-year-old Calgary man has been charged with manslaughter in connection with a home invasion that happened in the northwest community of Brentwood last year.

Calgary police say they were called to a home in the 0 to 100 block of Braden Crescent N.W. around 9:15 a.m. on Jan. 4, 2024, for reports of a break and enter.

Responding officers found one man dead and two others injured, police say. An autopsy identified the deceased as John Wayne Davis, 53.

Police have charged the 44-year-old with one count each of manslaughter, unlawful confinement, robbery, break and enter and two counts of aggravated assault in relation to the home invasion.

The man is set to appear in court Monday.

The incident is still under investigation as police believe others may have been involved in the break and enter. Investigators are asking anyone with information about what happened to contact Calgary police.
