Calgary homicide detectives are asking for help from the public as they search for a woman in connection with the violent death of a man last month in Marlborough Park.

Investigators think Lori Ann Heavenfire, 34, might have information about the death of Tyler Sanderson, 24, who was seriously assaulted in the 5500 block of Maddock Drive N.E. on May 15.

"She's a person of interest at this point in time," Insp. Don Coleman said of Heavenfire. "We have not been able to gain her cooperation to date so it's hard to determine what her involvement is."

Coleman added that she "is aware of our interest in her" but has avoided investigators.

"We believe she's going to be either in Calgary or the immediate surrounding area," he said.

Police are not revealing the cause of death.

Sanderson's killing was the city's seventh homicide of the year.

She has dyed blonde hair and hazel eyes and might be driving a black 2001 BMW 320i with Alberta plates BRX-4109.

Police are asking anyone with information to call the homicide tip line at 403-428-8877 or contact Crime Stoppers.
