Police hope description of 2 vehicles spotted leaving scene will lead to more tips
Police revealed two new details in Daverico Downey's homicide Tuesday that they hope will lead to more tips
On Tuesday, Nova Scotia RCMP released a description of two vehicles fleeing North Preston in the Halifax Regional Municipality shortly after the shots were fired. The 20-year-old, known to loved ones as Davie, was found dead on April 23 in North Preston.
The first vehicle is described as a white car which was seen leaving the Alex Lane area. The second vehicle of interest is a dark-coloured SUV.
More witnesses needed
Cpl. Dal Hutchinson said the hope is the new details will lead to more tips on the homicide.
"That is our intention of putting this out there, that someone somewhere knows information with regards to these two vehicles and what their roles [were] in this homicide or if they may in fact have witnessed what took place," said Hutchinson.
Police added the case to a reward program for major unsolved crimes earlier this year. Tips that lead to an arrest and conviction could be worth up to $150,000.
Hutchinson said anyone with tips on the homicide should contact police. Anonymous tips can be sent to Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or by secure online tips.
