“The shooting appears to be targeted and was not random,” RCMP said at the time, adding that they were looking for a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a vehicle they believed was used by the suspects in the incident and which they also believed was stolen in Blackfalds a few days earlier. The vehicle was later found by police in Calgary.
“Red Deer RCMP are still working to identify other individuals that may have been involved,” police said Wednesday. “If you have any information in relation to this incident, please contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575.”
