Stabbing Not Linked To Kijiji, Afterall

Police say a stabbing that was initially thought to be linked to a Kijiji cellphone sale was actually a targeted attack.

A 21-year-old victim was stabbed in the chest last Sunday after he got into a white SUV with three other men in southeast Calgary.

Investigators originally thought the victim had been attacked while negotiating the sale of a cellphone he had listed on the online classifieds site.

However, police said Friday they no longer believe that to be the case.

Instead, investigators allege the attack was targeted and that the victim knew the suspects.

Police say they are still working to determine a motive.
