Police in Halifax have identified the 22-year-old Halifax man fatally shot late Monday in the city's north end.
Tyler Ronald Joseph Keizer was found wounded in his car in the Falkland and Gottingen streets area.
He died later in hospital, and the province's Medical Examiner's Office has ruled his death a homicide.
Investigators are asking for the public's help, saying a suspect was spotted running from the area and may have jumped in a vehicle.
Anti-violence advocates in the city have said there has been a disturbing rise in the number of gun deaths in Halifax.
Fifty-eight-year-old Terrence Patrick Izzard of Halifax was gunned down outside his home in the city's north end on Nov. 14, and his death followed the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Shakur Jefferies.
Jefferies was found dead near a suburban Halifax apartment building a few days before Izzard's death, leading to murder charges against 21-year-old Halifax rapper Carvel Clayton.
