HALIFAX – Police in Halifax have laid a first-degree murder charge in the shooting death of a North Preston man last year.

Police say they arrested a 29-year-old Cole Harbour man Wednesday in connection with the murder of Jayden Tynes. 

The 28-year-old-victim was found suffering from gun shot wounds near the intersection of Cain Street and Clarence Street in North Preston on Nov. 2, 2025 and later died from his injuries.

The accused was scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court on Thursday.

Police say the investigation remains ongoing and there’s a $150,000 reward available for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. 

They are asking anybody with additional information to come forward. 

“This arrest marks a significant step in our investigation and we hope it brings some measure of comfort to Jayden’s family, who have endured an unimaginable loss,” Sgt. Shawn Stanton, a member of the RCMP and Halifax Regional Police integrated homicide unit, said in a statement.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 23, 2026.
