Weapons found connected to 2016 homicide in Riverbend

The body of Kyle Rowe was found in a vehicle in the southeast neighbourhood of Riverbend.

Calgary police believe they now have the weapons used in a 2016 homicide in the neighbourhood of Riverbend and are asking for more public assistance.

Officers were called to reports of a shooting in the 100 block of Riverbend Drive southeast on October 31, 2016. They found Kyle Rowe, 26, in the back seat of a car that was parked on the driveway of a home. He was suffering from gunshot wounds and was declared dead on the scene.

Thanks to information provided by the public, homicide detectives were able to recover the firearms believed to have been used in the shooting. Forensic testing is currently underway on the firearms.

"Once we find or recover firearms, we are not going to immediately release that until we know that they are actually significant, in this case we didn't learn that until a later date," said Acting Staff Sgt. Kurt Jacobs, CPS Homicide Unit.

Investigators believe it was a targeted shooting and said there is no danger to the general public.

"It was a planned attack, it wasn't random, and there are a number of reasons why that may be, lifestyle, it could be so many different reasons," said Jacobs.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen any suspicious behavior in the southeast communities of Acadia, Willow Park, Maple Ridge, Lake Bonavista or Deer Run at that time to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
