Calgary police are looking for public tips about a shooting in the southeast community of Highfield on Saturday.

Around 3:15 p.m. on Feb. 3, police were called to the 900 block of 42 Avenue S.E. for a shooting.

When they arrived, they found a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee that had crashed at the scene.

It had been hit by several bullets.

The driver, a woman in her 20s, was not hurt.

Investigators believe this was a targeted shooting and the result of organized crime conflict in Calgary.

Police say the victim was driving on 42 Avenue S.E. when she was rear-ended by a black Ford F-150 pickup truck.

She lost control of her vehicle and struck a utility pole.

Once the victim's vehicle had come to a stop, the other driver pulled up and opened fire. They fled north on 8 Street S.E.

Police have located the truck believed to be involved, in southeast Calgary with fire damage.

No suspects have been found at this time.

Calgary police believe there were a number of witnesses to the shooting who may have information that could help in the investigation.
