Family and friends want the victim of a fatal stabbing in Copperfield, Danillo Canales Glenn, to be remembered as being a kind young man and not for the tragic circumstances that took his life.
"He was a young man full of determination. He would give the shirt off his back to help anybody," said Anne Ervin, Canales Glenn’s grandmother.
She says her 18-year-old grandson was planning on attending the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology for a welding program, and was excited for a new chapter of life.
Canales Glenn leaves behind two younger siblings, according to Ervin, a 17-year-old brother and a 15-year-old sister.
The teen lost his life on Tuesday night after being attacked while at a basketball court in the 0-100 block of Copperstone Road S.E.
Police say Canales Glenn and two friends were approached by two strangers at around 8 p.m. A fight broke out, and the 18-year-old was attacked with bear spray and stabbed several times.
He was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries, becoming Calgary’s 13th homicide victim of 2023.
