Police say 27-year-old John Fulton Newcombe was fatally shot outside a Halifax pub early on June 1st, 2012.

Superintendent Jim Perrin says investigators have run into a lack of co-operation from those who know what happened, but they hope the reward will encourage someone to break the code of silence and come forward.
