Edmonton police are searching for suspects believed to have been used a getaway car in a homicide two months ago at the southern edge of the city.
Jose Cruz Gonzalez Aceves, 45, was found dead in the driver’s seat of a vehicle outside of a home in southwest Edmonton’s Chappelle neighbourhood.
Police were called on Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 8:49 p.m. to reports of multiple gunshots heard near 41 Avenue SW and Chappelle Road. EMS also showed up and declared the man dead on scene.
An autopsy determined Cruz Gonzalez Aceves, 45, died from a gunshot wound and his death was a homicide.
Investigators now believe two suspects were driving a brown, 2012 Honda Civic in the Chappelle neighbourhood before the death.
Police have since recovered the car (pictured below) and are looking for any information on the Honda and its two occupants on the night of the shooting.
