Leduc RCMP say one person is dead after being shot on Highway 2, near Township Road 490 on Saturday.
Police said in a news release that a witness saw a white or grey pickup truck pull up beside a black 2012 Honda Civic. Shortly thereafter, the truck sped away and the Honda Civic pulled over to the side of the road.
The driver had been shot and killed.
Cpl. Mathew Howell, public information officer with the RCMP, told CBC News that the driver was not alone in the vehicle, but could not give more information on the other occupants.
At this point, Howell said RCMP are still trying to identify the truck. He said it’s too early to say if the victim and suspect knew each other, or what may have led to the incident.
“Anyone who may have witnessed this incident or who has dashcam footage of Highway 2, near Township Road 490, at around 2:50 p.m., is asked to please come forth,” the RCMP news release reads, in part.
Those with information can contact Leduc RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
