Halifax police have officially identified the man that was killed in Dartmouth last week.
The 25-year-old has been identified as Zachery Jordell Charles Grosse of Dartmouth, which Global News previously confirmed with his family.
At approximately 6:30 p.m., on Oct. 22, police responded to a weapons call and located Grosse injured outside 25 Primrose Street.
He was taken to hospital but died from his injuries at approximately 1 a.m., on Oct. 23.
Police say that an autopsy has been completed by the Medical Examiner Service and Grosse’s death has been officially ruled a homicide.
