The Calgary Police Service Homicide Unit is investigating the death of a man in the community of Crescent Heights on Thursday.
Officers were called to Centre Street and 12 Avenue North at around 4:20 a.m. for reports of a man who appeared to be in medical distress inside a car stopped in the middle of the intersection.
When police arrived, they found a vehicle peppered with bullet holes and a man dead inside. A firearm was seized at the scene.
Police said there is nothing to indicate the shooting was random.
Investigators stopped short of calling the death a homicide, saying it was classified as a suspicious death.
The incident caused the temporary closure of Centre Street between 11 Avenue and 13 Avenue.
Police later identified a home in the 200 block of 10 Avenue N.E. as a potential second crime scene.
“Some preliminary intelligence gathered at the scene from the first scene led investigators to that second area,” Staff Sgt. Asif Rashid said at a noon news conference.
