Police are looking to speak with the occupants of a car that they say may have witnessed a deadly shooting east of Calgary earlier this week.
The RCMP Major Crimes Unit and Strathmore detachment say a dark grey-coloured 2013 to 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagon was driving by Range Road 282 and Township Road 250 around noon on Tuesday, the same time the shooting happened.
“RCMP need to speak to the occupants of this car,” reads a release from police. “It could be critical in obtaining important information for this investigation.”
The owner of the vehicle, or anyone who knows the owner, are being urged to contact Strathmore RCMP at 403-934-3968, or anonymously at CrimeStoppers.
The shooting north of Chestermere left one man dead and another with non-life-threatening injuries. The pair have been identified as a Rocky View County worker and a FortisAlberta employee.
Police believe two suspects fled the shooting scene in a stolen Rocky View County fleet vehicle that was later found abandoned in a rural area north of Strathmore.
A pickup truck that was stolen in Calgary a day earlier is also believed to be connected to the incident. RCMP say the truck was stolen from a home in the 400 block of Abadan Place NE, in the Abbeydale community, around 5:55 a.m. Monday.
It is described as a white 2013 Dodge Ram with teal-coloured aftermarket rims and shell shaped lug nuts.
Police say they are not looking for the truck, only asking for anyone who may have dashcam or security footage of the vehicle between the time it was stolen and the time of the shooting to contact Strathmore RCMP.
