EDMONTON - Last year was not the worst for homicides in Edmonton's
history, but it was close. Thirty-six people died at the hands of others
- -- less than the record-setting 39 of 2005, but still more than in other
Canadian cities of similar size. Here's a look at the year's homicides:

61st Street on Jan. 7. He had been shot in the head. Darren Gary
Rowland, 25, was charged with first-degree murder. The charge was
withdrawn because of a low chance of conviction.

building at 91st Street and 106A Avenue. Jamie Hunt, 23, was charged
with second-degree murder.
