A man is dead after a shooting Wednesday night at Saddle Ridge.
Police were called to block 200 on Saddlecrest NE just before 10:30 pm for firing signals.
When they arrived, they found a body with gunshot wounds. Police say he was shot while in a car.
Witnesses say they heard about ten bullets pop up shortly after 10 p.m.
No other injuries were reported and police are now searching the area for additional evidence, surveillance videos and property damage.
Police in Calgary on Thursday identified the shooting victim as 24-year-old Hisham Ahmed.
“We are seeking public help to find a suspect vehicle seen fleeing the scene immediately after the shooting,” police said in a statement.
“The vehicle was described as a dark truck GMC Sierra from 2003 to 2006 with secondary shopping lights and an exhaust system.”
Branch 5 pcs. Raj Daliwal says Wednesday’s shooting and the escalation of gun violence in the city are worrying.
“My biggest fear is that I don’t want any innocent observer – Calgary – to lose his life because someone decided to pull the trigger, because he had circumstances that allowed him to pull the trigger,” Delival told CTV News . – This is my biggest fear.
Dalyval lived in Saddle Ridge and knows the area well. He plans to meet with religious and community leaders in the coming days to discuss what can be done to support the community and reduce violence.
