Fatal Calgary shooting death of Jordan Leinen – Obituary
Calgary police have released the identity of the young woman fatally shot over the weekend in Vista Heights. The victim, 19-year-old Jordan Leinen, was confirmed dead after officers responded to the Foothills Medical Centre on Saturday evening around 6 p.m. Initial reports indicated that two individuals had been shot.
Upon arrival, authorities declared Leinen deceased. An autopsy completed on Monday identified her as the victim.
The incident, which marks Calgary’s 10th homicide of the year, occurred approximately at 5:20 p.m. while Leinen and another person were traveling westbound in a 2008 Acura MDX on the 32 Avenue N.E. overpass above Deerfoot Trail. A vehicle approached them and fired multiple shots, injuring both occupants.
The second victim, a 17-year-old boy, was initially in serious condition but has since been reported as stable.
Police suspect that the shooting was targeted, though they believe Leinen was not the primary target. They are urging anyone with information, including CCTV or dash-cam footage from the area around the time of the shooting, to come forward.
Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson from the Calgary Police Service homicide unit emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, “A young woman has tragically lost her life, leaving her family in mourning. We are dedicating extensive resources to thoroughly investigate this violent act, which will not be tolerated in our city.”
