Halifax Regional Police say they are investigating whether 58-year-old Terrance Izzard, Halifax’s most recent homicide victim, was the intended target of Monday night’s shooting in the city’s north end.
Izzard was found suffering from life-threatening injuries shortly after 11 p.m. Monday night, after police were called to Cragg Avenue following reports of shots being fired.
