Police say the white truck was stolen on March 18.
Surveillance video obtained by CTV News Edmonton from 94 Street appears to show a white truck driving down the street around 1:15 a.m. before a person approaches the black truck.
The person can then be seen running from the scene and the white truck departs.
Surveillance video obtained by CTV News Edmonton shows a person running from a truck in the early morning hours of April 2 where a man was later found dead.
Investigators are now asking anyone who saw the white truck between March 18 and early Tuesday morning to contact them.
"The truck had visible red tape along the rear passenger tail light," Staff Sgt Rob Bilawey of the Edmonton Police Service homicide section said in a Tuesday news release.
"While there are many white GMC trucks in the city, we are hopeful that someone may recognize this truck's unique tail light whether it was driving on a roadway or noticeably parked for a period of time."
