“Our family is in complete shock and dismay over this sudden and tragic incident,” said a statement released by the family through the Calgary Police Service. “Words cannot explain the pain, the hurt, the pain and the impact this loss will have on our family and friends forever. It is of the utmost importance to our family that people know and recognize Brett for who he was and how his infectious smile and big heart will be forever missed.” His family said Davidson had served in the Navy and recently moved to Calgary “in search of a new adventure.” He was born and raised on Vancouver Island and had a great love for the outdoors.

“Being outside was his sanctuary,” the statement read. Police believe Davidson was confronted in the hallway of the building where he lived in the 1000 block of 9th Avenue SE with a man who had family ties to another tenant. Davidson’s family released a statement through Calgary police saying the family is in “absolute shock and despair” following the tragic incident. Photo by Calgary Police Service After being attacked with a knife, Davidson managed to stumble out of the building where he collapsed. Several passers-by rushed to his aid but he died of his injuries in hospital. Investigators do not believe Davidson and his attacker had a prior relationship. After the incident, dozens of police searched for a suspect, who was identified using CCTV footage. He was arrested several hours later and remains in custody. Cory Carl Miklic, also known as Cory Szabo, 41, was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter, but Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta with the Calgary Police Department’s homicide unit confirmed Tuesday that the charge had been upgraded to second-degree murder.

He said the upgrade was made by the Crown Prosecution Service based on information gathered and an autopsy conducted Tuesday morning. This is not Miklic’s first interaction with the judicial system. He had previously been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm in connection with a random attack at the College of St. Mary in February 2020. Schiavetta could not comment on the suspect’s previous run-ins with the law, but said, in general, police are frustrated in situations like this. “When prolific violent offenders are released back into our community, the police service has a responsibility to public safety,” he said. “And it’s very difficult to ensure public safety when violent offenders are put back on the street.”

Ciavetta said police are “actively advocating” to ensure the suspect remains in custody until he is brought before the courts. Supt. Scott Boyd with the Calgary Police Service’s patrol, south division, said police are concerned about the general level of violence in the city, but also not worried because of the support they’re getting from citizens. “I’m not worried because we’re having success with the records,” Boyd said. “You will see and hear from us, in the coming weeks, an explosion of crime that will be held accountable.” Boyd noted that incidents like what happened Saturday can be difficult for anyone involved, but especially for bystanders who are not trained to deal with traumatic events.

Anyone who witnessed the incident and needs support can speak with the CPS Victim Support Team by calling 403-428-8393. “They’re available to talk about some of those complexities and emotions and feelings that they might be feeling now, but more — as we know — from post-traumatic stress in the days and weeks ahead,” Boyd said. Calgary residents can also call the Calgary Distress Center at 403-266-4357 or call 211 for help. Anyone with information about the incident can call the Calgary police non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers. — With files from Dean Pilling [email protected]: @brodie_thomas
