A man is dead after reports of gunshots in south Edmonton — one of at lease three shootings police responded to in under 24 hours in the city.
The suspicious death took place Sunday night in near a southeast Edmonton LRT station.
Edmonton police responded around 10 p.m. to reports of gunshots near 66 Street and 38 Avenue, around the Millbourne/Woodvale Stop of the Valley Line Southeast.
Officers arrived to find an injured 52-year-old man. EMS tried to save the man’s life, but he was declared dead on the scene.
The homicide section has taken over the investigation and an autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday.
The EPS is asking for dash camera or home security camera footage between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Sunday to contact them.
Likewise, police are asking people who may have witnessed the shooting or saw suspicious activity in the neighbourhood to please come forward.
The fatality came a few hours between two other shootings police dealt with on the north side.
