Police say 25-year-old man killed in Dartmouth
The man's death is being investigated as a homicide; investigators believe it was not random
Halifax Regional Police are investigating a homicide after a 25-year-old man's death.
Police were called to the 0-50 block of Primrose Street in Dartmouth, N.S., around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday for a weapons complaint that involved an injured man. When they arrived, they determined the man had life-threatening injuries.
The man was rushed to hospital.
"Unfortunately, shortly after 1 a.m., the victim, an adult male, 25 years old, passed away from his injuries. And the name of the victim is being withheld pending next-of-kin notification," said Staff Sgt. Robert Fox.
The case is now being investigated as a homicide. Fox said police have no information to provide the public on a possible suspect.
Fox would not say what kind of weapon was used in the homicide, but witnesses at the scene Thursday night said the man appeared to have been stabbed.
Primrose Street was closed for most of Thursday night into Friday morning but has since reopened.
In a release Friday afternoon, Halifax police say officers remain at the scene. Police also say in the release they don't believe the incident was a random act.
Halifax police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them or Crimestoppers.
