Curtis added he is starting to feel like the neighbourhood isn't safe, noting his roommate was mugged on their front lawn just four months ago. "It's really becoming quite weird and, us with three kids, it's time to think about moving." Police are encouraging anyone with information to get in touch with them. If the woman's death is declared a homicide, it will be Calgary's eighth this year.
