Calgary Police Seek Help From Drivers Near Fatal Shooting In Late November – Calgary | The Canadian News

Calgary Police are seeking to speak to two drivers who were in the area when Merke Mehreteab Merke was fatally shot on November 22.

That night, police were called to the 200 block of SE 28th Street and a seriously injured man was found who was later pronounced dead at the scene. The victim was later identified as Merke, 25, who police said had recently moved to Calgary from Edmonton.

Police reviewed video of the area and identified two vehicles whose drivers may have information that may help investigators. The vehicles were identified as a blue Buick Encore and a gray Nissan Pathfinder.

“We have reviewed hours and hours of video footage and identified the drivers of these vehicles as possible witnesses,” said Sgt. Martin Schiavetta of the CPS Homicide Unit said in a statement.

“We believe this was a planned and targeted attack and it is highly likely that someone in the area has unknowingly witnessed the suspects or other suspicious behavior.”
