Homicide detectives are investigating the death of a man who died in hospital overnight after a shooting outside a north Edmonton convenience store on Sunday.
A 22-year-old man was taken to hospital after shots were fired outside a 7-Eleven in the area of 118 Street and 145 Avenue at around 4:45 p.m.
Police said shots rang out after a fight between a group of people.
A man who works in the strip mall told Global News a man got out of an SUV and approached another man who was in the parking lot.
He said a waitress from a nearby pub was outside having a cigarette as seven to 10 shots were fired.
The witness said several people were inside the SUV as the suspect got back in the vehicle. The SUV then left the scene.
On Monday afternoon, police released pictures of two vehicles they said are connected to the shooting.
One of the vehicles is a newer-model, dark grey Dodge Durango. The other is a dark-coloured SUV.
The 22-year-old suffered life-threatening injuries and died in hospital overnight.
