According to the RCMP, two women were travelling together in a black Ford Explorer towards Weyburn when they heard a “loud crack.”
The investigation determined someone had shot a firearm from behind the SUV, which struck and entered the travelling vehicle, hitting the female passenger.
She died at the scene.
Investigation update from RCMP
In a news release from RCMP on Sunday afternoon, it said a white truck may have been travelling ahead of the black SUV and was parked alongside Highway 39 at the time of the shooting.
“This vehicle may or may not have also been hit by a gunshot,” it said.
Investigators do not believe the gunshots came from this truck.
RCMP is asking the person who may have been driving a white four-door crew cab truck on Highway 39 at around 8 p.m. on Sept. 12 to contact investigators.
