By Meghan Groff

Halifax Regional Police are hoping for new information as the second anniversary of the murder of Joseph Beals approaches.

At around 2:10 p.m. on February 20, 2021, officers were called to a car crash on Mount Edward Road and Cranberry Crescent in Dartmouth.

Arriving officers found a vehicle that had hit a utility pole.

Joseph “JoJo” Beals was in the driver's seat with gunshot wounds.

He was rushed to hospital where he died.

Police believe there are people who have information that could help them advance the case.

“Even the smallest piece of information could be the key to progressing the investigation into Joseph’s murder,” said HRP in a news release.

Police can be contacted at 902-490-5020. 

The case is also part of the province's Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program, which offers up to $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible. 

All calls to 1-888-710-9090 are recorded and those who come forward need to provide their name and contact information, and may be called to testify in court.
