Mounties in Alberta say they are still searching for a suspect and a motive in a shooting on a highway south of Edmonton earlier this month that left one person dead.
RCMP say the shooting happened near Leduc on the afternoon of March 14.
Witnesses saw a pickup truck pull up beside a car and then speed off.
Police say investigators later learned that the driver of the car was shot and he pulled over to the side of the road and died.
RCMP spokesman Cpl. Troy Savinkoff says investigators have located the grey truck but the suspect remains at large and police are piecing together what led to the shooting.
Jaskaran Sandhu, the president of the Alberta chapter of the World Sikh Organization, says the victim was a 22-year-old international student who was on his way to see the Canadian Rockies for the first time.
