Edmonton police are looking to speak with more people who knew a woman found shot to death near the city's Jasper Avenue, and have released footage of a vehicle connected to her homicide.

On Nov. 5, 31-year-old Kelsey Ouellette was found dead in a vehicle near 116 Street after gunshots were heard in the community.

Ahead of a news conference about the investigation Wednesday morning, Edmonton police released video footage of a white Toyota SUV that was seen in the area around the time of Ouellette's death.

Investigators are exploring whether it is the same vehicle as a 2016 white Toyota Highlander found burning near 259 Avenue and 18 Street the same evening Ouellette was killed. The burnt vehicle was stolen from northwest Calgary in August and, when found, featured an Alberta licence plate that was stolen from west Edmonton in early October: CKP5569.

"We believe this Toyota Highlander was driven and would have been parked in the Edmonton area throughout the months of October and November,” homicide detective Jared Buhlersaid in a statement.

“If anyone recognizes this vehicle or remembers noticing a similar vehicle parked in an unusual or temporary place, we are asking them to please reach out to us.”
