Halifax Regional Police say the death of a 58-year-old man whose body was found in a Clayton Park apartment building Thursday night is being treated as a homicide.
Police responded to a “trouble call” at the building, in 0-100 block of Harlington Crescent, around 10:13 p.m. where they located a deceased man in a hallway.
A short time later, a 20-year-old man was taken into custody near a Halifax Transit bus stop on Willett Street in relation the investigation.
The 20-year-old is being treated for a serious injury at the QEII Health Sciences Center; his current state isn’t allowing officers to speak with him.
Investigators say the results of an autopsy performed Friday confirmed that the death was a homicide.
The victim’s identity has not been released, pending notification of his next of kin.
Police believe the men knew each other, and don’t believe this was a random act. No other suspects are currently being sought, according to a police press release.
Investigators are currently canvassing the neighbourhood and forensic officers are still on the scene.
Anyone with information about this incident, specifically anyone who may have seen the 20-year-old man fleeting the apartment, is asked to call police at 902-490-5016 www.crimestoppers.ns.ca.
