Calgary homicide detectives are hoping to gather dashcam footage of Monday night’s targeted fatal shooting as they search for suspects.

Police responded to reports of a seriously injured man in the 200 block of 28 Street S.E. on Monday after 7 p.m. The man died at the scene.

The business owner who called 911, who Global News is not identifying for the sake of his safety, said he heard a noise at that time.

“When I ran to him and ask, ‘Hey, man! Hey man, you need help?’ he didn’t respond to me, and when I get closer, I see the blood is coming from his mouth, so that time, I call right away police,” he said Tuesday.
