Police say a 20-year-old man was found fatally injured inside a central Edmonton apartment building Friday morning.

The man accused of killing a security guard inside a central Edmonton apartment building last week has an extensive history of violent crimes dating back more than a decade.Security guard Harshandeep Singh, 20, was pronounced dead in hospital after police officers found him in a stairwell while responding to a reported gunshot inside an Edmonton apartment building early on Dec. 6.

Parole documents obtained by CBC detail Rain's troubled history and track his movements through the federal corrections system following his conviction on a string of charges related to an altercation with Edmonton police in June 2019. Rain pleaded guilty and was handed a sentence of more than three years and two months, and a lifetime prohibition banning him from owning firearms.As Rain served federal time for the police chase, he picked up additional charges for assaulting fellow inmates, and for an attempted carjacking.

Parole officials noted that Rain appeared unwilling to accept responsibility for his crimes or participate in programs aimed at rehabilitation. His childhood trauma left him struggling with addictions and anti-social behaviour and drew him into a criminal lifestyle. During his time in the federal correctional system, his release into the community was repeatedly revoked.

"Your last release lasted a few days before you made the choice to go unlawfully at large, use drugs and incur further charges," Kenny wrote. "According to the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, you will be released again on statutory release, subject to supervision, until the expiration of your sentence according to law," board member Marilyn Kenny told Rain in the April 6, 2023, decision.
