An autopsy determined Cruz Gonzalez Aceves, 45, died from a gunshot wound and his death was a homicide.

Investigators now believe two suspects were driving a brown, 2012 Honda Civic in the Chappelle neighbourhood before the death.

Police have since recovered the car (pictured below) and are looking for any information on the Honda and its two occupants on the night of the shooting.

Anyone who has information about this vehicle, its occupants, or any other details about this homicide 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.
