The Downtown Edmonton Coroner's office welcomed its first murdered body of the year early Saturday morning.
The body of a 23 year old Somalian man is the proud owner of the gunshot wound that killed him and made him the first homicide victim of 2011 for the city and surrounding municipalities.
The floor of Papryus Restaurant & Lounge played host to the dead body, found at approximately 3am by police. This will be the first of many 2011 murders the city anticipates in the coming year.
Unfortunately, the Edmonton killing was beat out by a similar killing in Toronto, where a man received fatal stab wounds at around 2:30 am the same night. That makes the Toronto body the New Year's body for Ontario and all of Canada.
