Calgary police have identified the 35-year-old victim in a homicide in the southeast community of Cranston.
Police were called to the 500 block of Cranston Drive SE around 2:50 p.m. Dec. 2 after receiving reports of a medical event. When officers arrived, they found a woman in a parked vehicle. She was later pronounced dead on scene.
After an autopsy completed Friday, Calgary police have released the identity of the victim. She was 35-year-old Norma-Jean Muirhead, of Calgary and British Columbia.
It’s Calgary’s 19th homicide of 2021.
While the investigation is ongoing, the Calgary police say they believe the woman was targeted.
