The Alberta RCMP Major Crimes Unit is investigating a fatal shooting that occurred on Highway 2 in Leduc County, Alberta, on March 14, 2026. A driver died after a weapon was fired from a passing truck toward a Honda Civic near Township Road 490.
Leduc RCMP officers arrived at the scene and confirmed that the driver of the car was killed in the incident. The major crimes team has now taken charge of the investigation and is working to identify the individuals involved.
Investigators are asking anyone who was travelling on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway that afternoon to check their dashcam footage. Police are specifically looking for information about a truck that was seen passing the car before the shooting took place.
This incident follows a separate investigation in the community from earlier this month. On March 2, 2026, a man was found dead inside a home in the West Haven neighbourhood after emergency crews responded to a structure fire.
The RCMP is asking members of the public to come forward with any details that could help solve the highway shooting. No suspects have been taken into custody at this time.
