The RCMP/HRP Integrated Criminal Investigation Division (CID) continues to ask for the public's assistance in relation to the 2024 homicide of Tyrell Beals.

Today marks one year since the RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment received a report that a man had been shot near the 1100 block of Downey Rd. Upon arrival at the scene, officers located Beals, of Westphal. He had sustained gunshot wounds and was later pronounced deceased at the hospital.

"To advance unsolved homicide investigations, we need information from the public in order to find those responsible," says Sgt. Jason Withrow of CID. "If you were in the area of Downey Rd. on May 8, 2024, or have any information regarding the murder of Tyrell Beals, please contact us; we need your help to bring closure to his loved ones."

The ongoing investigation is led by Homicide Investigations in the Special Enforcement Section of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division with assistance from the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service, RCMP Forensic Identification Services, and RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment.

Anyone with information regarding this homicide is asked to contact police at 902-490-5020.

Our thoughts continue to be with Mr. Beals' loved ones.
