Calgary, AB – The initial charge of manslaughter against Anthony Quinton Miley, 34, in connection with the tragic death of 26-year-old Jelisa Maschki, has been upgraded to second-degree murder. This significant development comes as the Calgary Police Service’s Homicide Unit continues its diligent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Maschki's untimely demise.
The tragedy unfolded on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, when emergency services were called to a residence in the 100 block of Martindale Close N.E.
Responding officers discovered Jelisa Maschki deceased inside the home. The scene prompted immediate investigation by the Homicide Unit, leading to the swift arrest of Miley in the days following the incident.
Miley was initially charged with manslaughter. However, as the meticulous police investigation progressed, new and compelling evidence emerged.
This additional information provided investigators with the necessary grounds to pursue a more serious charge, reflecting the gravity of the alleged crime.
A spokesperson for the Calgary Police Service confirmed the upgraded charge, emphasizing the ongoing commitment to thoroughly investigate all aspects of the case.
"Our Homicide Unit has been working tirelessly on this file," said the spokesperson. "Based on new evidence gathered since the initial charge, we believe an upgrade to second-degree murder is warranted."
Anthony Quinton Miley made a court appearance on Friday, January 5, 2024, to formally face the revised charge.
He is currently remanded and is expected to appear in court again as the legal proceedings continue to unfold. The details surrounding the evidence that led to the upgrade have not been publicly disclosed, as is standard practice in ongoing criminal investigations.
The family of Jelisa Maschki has been informed of this critical development and continues to receive support from victim services during this incredibly difficult time.
The police and community extend their deepest condolences to Maschki's loved ones, hoping that the pursuit of justice can bring some measure of solace. The investigation remains active, and authorities encourage anyone with further information that could assist in the case to come forward.
