Drifter sought in March killing

Edmonton police are searching for a 47-year-old drifter wanted in the murder of a well-known member of Edmonton’s drag community earlier this year.

Demetrios Karahalios was found dead inside his Oliver-area bungalow on March 8. Karahalios, a cook at Buddy’s Nite Club and Woody’s Video Bar, was known to many as Jimmy, or by his drag name, Coco.

On Tuesday, police issued a warrant for Richard Joseph Lacarte, 47, on a charge of second-degree murder in Karahalios’s death.

Tips can be submitted to police at 780-423-4567.
