Police have arrested a man in connection with a shooting that occurred last July in Halifax.
On July 6, at 2:20 a.m., Halifax Regional Police responded to the Red Fox Beverage Room located at 7071 Bayers Road for a report of a man who had been shot. The victim, a 22-year-old man from Halifax, exited the bar and was approached by another man who fired several shots, striking the victim several times. The suspect then fled the area.
Today at 1:15 p.m., investigators with the HRP/RCMP Integrated General Investigation Section arrested a 22-year-old Halifax man without incident. He is presently in custody and charges are anticipated.
