Police received multiple reports of shots fired, but when they arrived at the scene, they found the home vacant and no victims at the scene.
The shooting is believed to be linked to the drug trade, police said.
“The shootings which have occurred over the previous two days are concerning for our community. It is understandable that these incidents can erode the public’s feelings of safety,” said Cpl. Elenore Sturko in a media release.
“We will continue to strategically target individuals and groups who put the public at risk through violent criminal activity.”
The shootings come on the heels of a shooting and multiple car crash near 102A and 153 Street on Monday night.
Police arrested five people in that incident, while two people were left with serious injuries.
