Edmonton neighbours shocked by fatal daylight shooting

People living in a north Edmonton community are reeling after a fatal shooting early Monday evening — when it was still light out.

Edmonton police received several reports of gunshots at around 5:30 p.m. in the area of 172nd Avenue and 111th Street. Police found a man dead inside a vehicle, Staff Sgt. Bill Clark said.

Clark said the suspects took off in a vehicle, heading south, but nobody has been arrested. Police do not have a motive for the attack, Clark added.

“Just another random shooting in this city that’s disturbing the neighbourhood residents in this quiet residential area,” he said Monday evening. There were multiple witnesses, Clark added.
