Calgary police are looking for help from the public in relation to a Dec. 15 murder and vehicle fire.
Police responded to reports of shots fired at about 8:30 a.m., Dec. 15 in the 200-block of Douglas Ridge Circle S.E. and when officers arrived they located one deceased male.
About 30 minutes later, emergency crews in Foothills County responded to a vehicle fire on 296 Avenue East and found an abandoned SUV fully engulfed in flames.
Investigators say the two incidents are connected. Anyone with dashcam footage of a white 2022 Ford Expedition in the following areas, during specific times, is asked to contact police:
- Deerfoot Trail (Highway 2) southbound travelling towards Highway 552 between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m.

- Eastbound on 296 Avenue E to the 6400-block of 296 Avenue E between 8:45 and 9 a.m.
Police believe the suspect or suspects in the Ford Expedition bought gas and filled a container before the shooting, using the gas to burn the vehicle.
