Police identify victim of Dartmouth shooting
Shooting happened on Ancona Place in Montebello subdivision on Monday night
Halifax Regional Police have identified the victim of a fatal shooting in Dartmouth, N.S.
Cortrell Thomas, 37, was killed on Monday night, police said in a news release Tuesday.
Police said they responded to a report of gunshots on Ancona Place in the Montebello subdivision around 9 p.m. AT.
Officers arrived on scene and located a man who had been shot outside of a home. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say they don't believe the shooting was random, and are searching for two suspects who were seen leaving Ancona Place through Craig Blake Memorial Park. A path connects the cul-de-sac to the park behind it.
"Anyone who has video footage from the area, including Capistrano Drive, Appian Way and Casavechia Court, is asked to contact police if they haven't already spoken to an officer," police said in a news release.
In 2016, Thomas helped found Square Roots, a fresh produce delivery service that sourced its goods from Annapolis Valley farms and brought them to the Uniacke Square community in Halifax.
During its first six months of operation, Square Roots delivered more than 2,721 kilograms of produce to communities tackling food insecurity.
In an interview with CBC News in 2017, Thomas posed for a photo with his young children during a produce pickup at the George Dixon Centre.
