Calgary police are asking for the public's help identifying a man who fired a handgun into the air while fleeing a car prowling in southeast Calgary.

Around 4 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 13, two people are believed to have been going through vehicles in the 100 block of Douglasview Road S.E. A resident confronted one of them and followed him as he ran off, and the man pulled out a handgun and fired a round into the air before continuing on foot.

Police say they have exhausted other ways to identify him. He is described as 5'8" to 6' tall with a medium build, and was wearing a black, grey and white hoodie with a chevron-style pattern, a black ball cap, pants and shoes, a face covering and a crossbody bag.

Anyone with information can call police at 403-266-1234, or submit a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or calgarycrimestoppers.org.
