Witnesses to 'brazen shooting' on Alberta Avenue sought by police
Edmonton police are seeking witnesses to a shooting on Alberta Avenue earlier this month.
Officers responded to a "brazen shooting" on 118 Avenue and 94 Street just before 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 8.
Shortly after, the Edmonton Police Service was told a 21-year-old man was in hospital with gunshot wounds.

Businesses and drivers are asked to review video footage from the area between 6:15 p.m. and 6:35 p.m. that day.
Anyone with video or information is asked to call police at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
