Calgary police are asking for public assistance to help identify three suspects in connection with an assault with a weapon.

Early in the morning on Jan. 25, around 4 a.m., a white Honda Civic entered a parking lot near a convenience store in the 4700 block of 17 Avenue S.E.

Three men got out of the car and approached the victim, who was standing next to the store.

Police believe one of the men struck the victim in the head while the other two yelled and taunted him.

The three suspects eventually ran off.

The victim tried to follow them but police say the three suspects continued to act aggressively, chasing him and yelling.

One of the suspects is believed to have pulled out a BB gun and shot around five rounds in the victim’s direction.

The suspects then got back in the Honda and fled westbound on 17 Ave. S.E.

A security guard saw the assault on CCTV and called police.

The first suspect is described as 17 to 20 years old, with a medium build, and black hair. He was wearing a red graphic sweater, black pants and white shoes.

The second suspect is described as 17 to 20 years old, with a slim build and black hair. He was wearing a black Moose Knuckles jacket, black pants and black shoes.

The third suspect is described as 17 to 20 years old, with a medium build and black hair. He was last seen wearing a black jacket with a fur-lined hood, grey sweatpants and black sneakers with a white design.

Anyone with information about the assault or the identity of the suspects is asked to call the police non-emergency number at 403-266-1234.
