The men, who have since been identified as 22-year-old Japneet Malhi of Airdrie and 25-year-old Jasdeep Singh of Calgary, both died as a result of their wounds — one at the scene, and the other while in a Calgary hospital.

Police believe the double homicide to have been a targeted attack, and are now investigating a vehicle that is believed to have been in the area at the time of the incident.

The vehicle is described in the release as “a dark-coloured, four-door, 2002 to 2006 Nissan Altima with a rear spoiler.”

CPS has provided the following surveillance camera photo of the vehicle, along with an example of what they believe the car to look like:
