“We were able to confirm that those firearms located are the firearms used in the Kyle Rowe homicide,” Staff Sgt. Kurt Jacobs said in a news conference.

Investigators believe the shooting was a targeted attack and said there’s no danger to the public. A specific motive for the shooting, however, is not yet known.

Police are asking anyone who may have noticed any suspicious behaviour in the southeast communities of Acadia, Willow Park, Maple Ridge, Lake Bonavista or Deer Run, around the time of Rowe’s death to contact them. This includes suspicious vehicles and people whose actions seemed “out of the ordinary.”

Tips can be submitted by calling the non-emergency Calgary police line at 403-266-1234 or the Homicide Unit Tip Line at 403-428-8877, or by contacting Crime Stoppers.
