Edmonton police are investigating a man\u2019s death as a homicide after an autopsy showed he died of gunshot wounds, and authorities are looking for information about two suspect vehicles.<\/p>\n

The Edmonton Police Service says Hiwa Palani, 39, was shot Tuesday morning<\/a> at a business near 112 Avenue and 149 Street. He was taken to hospital where he died of his injuries.<\/p>\n

Police said earlier this week a man was seen fleeing the area on foot around the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n

Now they\u2019re saying a grey 2009 Mazda 3 was used during the homicide and then driven to 213 Street and 108 Avenue, where it was set on fire. The blaze was later extinguished by witnesses in the area.<\/p>\n

Edmonton police believe the suspect then got into a 2007 red Ford Fusion and drove it to Ada Boulevard and 50 Street, where it was also set on fire. That blaze was later extinguished by Edmonton Fire Rescue Services.<\/p>\n

The suspect fled on foot into the river valley, authorities say.<\/p>\n

Police say both vehicles were found to have front bumper body damage.<\/p>\n

The EPS released photos of the vehicles in the hope anyone can identify them and the people associated to them.<\/p>\n
