Pickup believed to be involved in drive-by shooting found burned
Police say a pickup, believed to be the same one involved in a drive-by shooting over the weekend, was found burned on Tuesday.
Officers located the burnt truck at 64 Street and 176 Avenue on Tuesday night.
Investigators say the truck matches the surveillance video of a grey Ford F250 leaving the scene of a shooting on 124 Street on Sunday.

A 37-year-old woman told CTV News Edmonton she, her husband, and her two-year-old son were shot at in a case of mistaken identity as they were going to a restaurant in the area for lunch.
The woman's husband was shot in the foot, and is recovering.
She and her son were not injured.
On Wednesday, CTV News Edmonton obtained security video that shows the family walking from their vehicle before a pickup truck pulls out of an alley and someone opens fire on them outside the frame.
People who live in the area say they're shocked.
"It's just an amazing thought to think bullets are flying all over the place in this area. It's crazy," said Mark Hall, who lives nearby.
"It just doesn't seem like something that would happen typically in Canada."
Anyone with information about the truck or its occupants is asked to call the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
