Photo of 'person of interest' released by Alberta RCMP on Day 4 of fatal shooting manhunt
CBC
RCMP have released a photo of a man who is considered to be a "person of interest" in the random, fatal shooting at a rural intersection east of Calgary on Tuesday.
Police are not calling the person in the image a suspect but are hoping to identify him, saying he "may have information which can assist them in this investigation."
The man was seen in Cochrane on Monday between 7 and 8 a.m.
Anyone with information is asked to call Strathmore RCMP or contact Crime Stoppers, which can be done anonymously.
On Tuesday, police were called to Range Road 282 and Township Road 250, just north of Chestermere, for reports of a shooting.
Officers found Rocky View County employee Colin Hough fatally wounded and a Fortis employee suffering a "superficial" wound.
Hough's work truck was missing from the scene and was found dumped within the hour in a rural area north of Strathmore in neighbouring Wheatland County.
The discovery of the victims and the abandoned truck prompted a shelter-in-place alert for Wheatland County. Residents were asked to stay inside, lock windows and doors and to not pick up hitchhikers.
Just over three hours later, around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, the alert was lifted after police said they believed the suspects were no longer in the area.
Investigators have not released any suspect descriptions since a manhunt began four days ago.
RCMP said on Tuesday and again on Wednesday that investigators did not have "sufficient descriptors" of the suspects to release to the public.
Police asked the public for information about a unique looking truck stolen from a home in the northeast community of Abbeydale in Calgary Monday morning.
