On the second anniversary of his death, police have released a photo of a white Kia Optima that was seen in the area at the time of the shooting. Investigators are asking anyone with information about the vehicle or its occupants to contact police.
“Investigators believe there are people who have information that could help solve Tyler’s murder, and hope that the passage of time may encourage someone to do the right thing and come forward with what they know,” police said in a news release.
The case has been added to the Nova Scotia Department of Justice Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program. The Department of Justice offers cash rewards of up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for specified major unsolved crimes.
