Calgary police have released a photograph of a man they believe may hold crucial information regarding a shooting that occurred in the Beltline area on June 5, 2026. The Calgary Police Service (CPS) is asking the public for assistance in identifying and locating the individual.
The shooting took place in the Beltline neighborhood, a central district of Calgary known for its dense population and vibrant nightlife.

The photo, released via CPS handout, shows a man with short dark hair and a beard, wearing a dark-colored jacket and a light-colored shirt. Police did not specify the man's age or other identifying details but urged anyone who recognizes him to contact them.
