A western Alberta man is wanted for aggravated assault and other offences in connection with a Monday shooting.

A 40-year-old man in Westlock, north of Edmonton, was shot in the stomach around 5:30 a.m.

The shooter ran away from the scene, RCMP say.

The victim was taken to an Edmonton hospital and is expected to survive.

In total, 30-year-old Justin Alexander McKinney from Fawcett, Alta., faces 10 charges, according to Mounties.

Investigators have asked the public to contact police or Crime Stoppers if they see McKinney but said not to approach him.

He may be driving a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado with Alberta licence plate CJK 5656, police said. The truck also features a "very large push bar" and a decal that reads "Locally hated."
