Bourgeois murder case added to unsolved crimes program

HALIFAX – The province has added the murder case of Glenn Bourgeois to its major unsolved crimes program.

At 4 p.m. on July 21, 2007, police responded to a complaint of gunshots in the Maynard and Woodill streets area of Halifax and found Bourgeois, who had been shot several times. He later died of his injuries.

Two men, one with a gun in his hand, were seen fleeing the area directly after the shooting.

“We believe that people in our community have information about Mr. Bourgeois’ death,” said Halifax Regional Police Chief Jean-Michel Blais in a statement released Tuesday.

“We implore those people to come forward so that we may continue to work diligently to bring this file to a successful conclusion.”

If someone shares information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case, they could receive up to $150,000.

Anyone with information is asked to call 1-888-710-9090.
