Halifax Regional Police are still investigating the murder of 19-year-old Jason MacCullough 16 years after his death.
MacCullough’s body was found on a paved path between 100 and 104 Pinecrest Drive in Dartmouth around 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 28, 1999.
Police believe he was passing through the area while walking home and used a well-known shortcut between two buildings.
Investigators say there is no indication that MacCullough was involved in any type of criminal activity and they believe his death was a random act.
Police also believe there were witnesses to the crime and they are urging anyone with information to come forward.
MacCullough’s homicide is part of the Nova Scotia Justice Department’s Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes program, which offers up to $100,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in certain cases.
