HALIFAX – Halifax police are asking for the public’s help in solving a 10-year-old murder.

On Aug. 7, 2005, officers responded to the intersection of Radcliffe Drive and Dunbrack Street where they found 19-year-old Jonathan Reader unconscious in the roadway.

Reader died in hospital a short time later and an autopsy determined he was the victim of a homicide resulting from blunt force trauma.

Police say they believe Reader was killed in the same place that he was found.

Investigators determined Reader had been in the Pacifico Bar and Grill in downtown Halifax with some friends and left at approximately 1:57 a.m. with a woman.

He was last seen around 3:20 a.m. walking alone on Dutch Village Road in the direction of Lacewood Drive in Halifax.
