The Nova Scotia government is offering a reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the death of a Halifax man.
Investigators say a woman was walking along Africville Road shortly after noon on Oct. 14, 2013 when she found the body of 24-year-old Matthew Thomas Sudds in a ditch.
Police say his death has been ruled a homicide.
Sudds was last seen alive by friends in Halifax the afternoon of Oct. 10. Investigators determined he was shot and killed on Africville Road later that day.
"Every family who has suffered a loss deserves closure," said Justice Minister Lena Diab.
"We urge anyone who has information about this homicide to please call our reward line. New details, no matter how small, can help the police solve a case and ensure justice is served for Matthew Sudds."
Last month, police asked for the public’s help in locating a black Dodge Charger that may be associated with the homicide.
The car is described as a newer model black Dodge Charger with out-of-province plates. Police say the vehicle would have been travelling on Africville Road after 6 p.m. on Oct. 10, 2013.
Anyone who shares information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case could receive up to $150,000 through Nova Scotia’s Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program.
The program was launched in October 2006 as an additional tool to help police gather information on unsolved crimes.
"We believe that people have information about Matthew's death that would assist the police investigation, and hope that the incentive offered through the rewards program will encourage them to speak up," said Halifax Regional Police Chief Jean-Michel Blais.
"We implore those people to come forward so that we may continue to work to bring this file to a successful conclusion."
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call 1-888-710-9090.
