On June 29, 2020 at approximately 10:20 p.m. Halifax Regional Police received a report of a stabbing that had just occurred at the Esso gas station at 6020 Young Street in Halifax. A man approached Terrance, who was in his parked vehicle, and stabbed him. The suspects fled in a vehicle which was later found abandoned in close proximity to the incident.

 Terrance, 47, of Halifax, sustained serious injuries and was transported by EHS to the QEII Health Sciences Centre for further treatment. He succumbed to his injuries on July 4. The Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy and ruled Terrance’s death a homicide.

Terrance’s family and loved ones remain in our thoughts and we hope that these charges bring some measure of comfort to them.
