Edmonton police are pleading with the community to send them photos or videos to help identify the suspect vehicle in the death of Abdullah Shah Sunday night.
Shah, also known as Carmen Pervez, died in hospital after a shooting outside his home at 374 Heath Rd in Riverbend just before 10 p.m. His death is expected to be confirmed a homicide, police said.
"Our investigation has determined Mr. Shah was returning home alone and was in his vehicle in his driveway when he was ambushed by a suspect or suspects and shot repeatedly," Det. Jared Buhler told media Wednesday afternoon.
"We've been provided with surveillance video which captures the suspect vehicle prior to the shooting, which is believed to be a medium-sized SUV."
After the shooting, police say the medium-grey vehicle drove away "at a high rate of speed" and turned south on Riverbend Road toward Terwillegar Drive. From there, it may have continued east on 23 Avenue or north or south on Terwillegar Drive.
Police are asking for security or dash cam footage from this area between 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
"We're in the process of confirming the make and model of the suspect vehicle," Buhler said.
