by · Calgary Herald

A man is dead following a shooting Friday night in the northeast community of Homestead.

Calgary police said officers were called to a home in the 200 block of Homestead Drive at about 7:20 p.m. for reports a man had been shot. Once there, they found the victim deceased.

The suspects had fled before police arrived, a CPS release states.

Homicide investigators believe the shooting was targeted. Officers remained on scene Friday night to speak with witnesses and collect security camera footage from the area. Homestead is a newer residential community located east of Taradale, across Stoney Trail.
