Halifax Regional Police say there’s no indication MacCullough was involved in any type of criminal activity, leading investigators to believe his death was a random act.
Police believe he was passing through the area while walking home and used the well-known shortcut between the buildings.
“Investigators believe there were several people in the area at the time of the homicide and strongly believe there were witnesses to the crime,” police said in a news release Wednesday.
“Investigators continue to urge these people to come forward and report anything that they remember about this day, no matter how small the detail.”
