Calgary police are looking for help finding a suspect wanted on a Canada-wide warrant following a July shooting in the city.
Police also hope to speak to people who were in a car at the time of the shooting.
At around 2 a.m. on July 12, police received reports of a shooting at the intersection of Macleod Trail S.E. at 10 Avenue S.E.
Witnesses told officers they saw someone fire a handgun at a blue car driving north on Macleod Trail.
Investigators would like to speak with anyone who was in that car that morning. Police said at this time, it’s unknown whether it was a targeted shooting.
“When we’re dealing with gun violence, we ask the community to provide as much information as they can,” acting Staff Sgt. Roland Stewart said in a statement.
“In general, these types of perpetrators are dangerous people that don’t respect the welfare of the community, and we’re working hard to reduce the violence that they bring to the streets of Calgary.”
