Today marks the first anniversary of the murder of Naricho Clayton and the Special Investigation Section of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division continues to investigate the case.
At 10:58 p.m. on April 19, Halifax Regional Police responded to the 2000 block of Gottingen Street in relation to multiple calls of shots fired. Upon arrival, officers located two men in a vehicle.
