Investigators in the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division are asking for the public’s assistance in locating a cellphone.

On September 4 at approximately 12:35 a.m., police located a man in the 1600 block of Lower Water Street who had been stabbed. The victim, 36-year-old Patrick Wayne Stay, was transported to the hospital where he later died. The Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service conducted an autopsy and ruled the manner of death to be a homicide.

Police are looking to locate a cellphone that may have been found in the area of Prince and Lower Water streets after the homicide.

Anyone with information on Patrick’s murder, the cellphone or video or pictures from the area is asked to contact police at 902-490-5020.

Our thoughts continue to be with the victim’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
