The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is seeking public assistance in locating a man wanted in the September 2023 murder of Fred Kolybaba.
Nicholas Alexander Brashko, 44, is wanted for murder, arson and indignity to a body in relation to the Sep. 1, 2023 homicide. Brashko is 5’4” tall with a heavy build, and may walk with a limp. He is known to frequent pawn shops.
Brashko may be dangerous and should not be approached.
Anyone who sees Brashko or has information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.
Background
On Friday, Sept. 1, 2023, at approximately 12:45 a.m., police responded to a call for assistance from Edmonton Fire Rescue Services after they located Fred Kolybaba, 69, deceased inside a residence in the area of 132 Street and 133 Avenue.
An autopsy was conducted by the Edmonton Medical Examiner on Sept. 7, 2023, though the cause and manner of death were not released for investigative reasons. Kolybaba’s death has since been ruled a homicide; the cause of death continues to be withheld for investigative reasons.

Thoughts? As of today’s posting date (February 9th, 2023), there is still a posting on the Edmonton Police Department’s Facebook page asking for information on Brashko’s whereabouts that is yet to be edited or updated with any news of a capture. I know we have Canadian readers on our forum and decided this was a horrific enough case to profile here on our forum and hopefully help out any way we can.
