The victim has been identified by police as Daphne Badger. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.

Nearly a month later, on Sept. 19, Edmonton police released the autopsy results, saying Badger died from a gunshot wound and her death was a homicide. EPS said the delay was due to a procedural oversight.
