Calgary police are looking for a suspect vehicle that was involved in a road rage turned shooting in January.
On Jan. 6 around 4:30 p.m., a man was driving along Castleridge Boulevard when he cut in front of a Dodge Ram truck.
The driver of the truck then tailgated the victim before eventually pulling up alongside the car and firing a shot, hitting the man in the arm. The truck then fled the scene.

The victim was able to drive to a gas station and call police. Police say he has since recovered from his injuries.
“This is a disturbing incident where a person was shot over a minor traffic dispute. This event is particularly troubling because it occurred in broad daylight in close proximity to a playground,” said Det. Jonah Edwards with the Calgary Police Service. “Though we have been able to move this investigation forward since January, we now need the public’s help to locate the truck in order to address this troubling behaviour.”
Due to snowy conditions at the time of the incident, no license plate number was obtained. The truck is described as a dark grey, 2014 or 2015 model Dodge Ram 1500 with a two to three-inch lift kit and aftermarket taillights.
The truck is said to also have yellow material in the driver’s side wheel well and dark tint on the rear windows.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact police.
