Police release photos of suspects after cyclist shot in northeast Edmonton

Police issued a plea for help from the public on Wednesday as they try to locate two suspects in connection with the shooting of a cyclist in northeast Edmonton last week.

At about 1:20 a.m. on Aug. 30, officers were called to a weapons complaint at a gas station in the area of 118 Avenue and 35 Street. According to police, it’s believed a fight broke out between a cyclist and people inside a vehicle after the bicycle hit the vehicle’s front bumper.
