TRURO, N.S. — Police in Truro, N.S., have identified the 23-year-old man killed on the weekend in what investigators say was a homicide.
Truro police Chief David MacNeil says officers responded to a call early on Sept. 5 to a building on Robie Street where they found the man, Prabhjot Singh, with life-threatening injuries.
He says Singh was transported to the hospital where he later died.
Officers arrested a person of interest shortly after responding to the call, but the person has since been released with no charges laid.
MacNeil says the police service is now working with the RCMP's Northeast Nova Major Crime Unit and its forensics identification section.
He says investigators are not speculating on the motive behind the killing.
