Police seek public’s assistance in locating vehicle involved in shooting in residential neighborhood

For Immediate Release: 16-Jul-2024 @ 2:58 PM
MRU #: F24R012

The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is seeking the public’s assistance in relation to a shooting which took place in early June 2024.

On Friday, June 7, 2024, at approximately 8:26 p.m., a 20-year-old male was sitting in an SUV in the Griesbach area of 106 Street and 150 Avenue. A blue Dodge Dakota truck drove past him travelling southbound, appearing to slow down as it drove by. Moments later the Dakota, which was travelling northbound, passed the SUV once again and several rounds were discharged from the truck at the SUV. The Dakota then fled the area.

“A shooting like this in broad daylight within a residential neighbourhood is really concerning, and it’s a miracle that nobody was injured,” says Acting Det. Alex Dickson with the EPS Firearms Investigation Unit. “We are appealing to the public for any information about the blue Dakota and its occupant(s) who were involved in a shooting. While we appreciate it’s been a month since the incident, we are confident someone out there knows the trucks origin and who may have been behind the shooting.”
