Glenn Brian Bourgeois, a 37-year-old man, was fatally shot in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the afternoon of July 21, 2007. At approximately 4:00 p.m., Halifax Regional Police were dispatched after receiving a report of gunshots in the area of Maynard and Woodill streets. When officers reached the scene, they found Bourgeois suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was still alive when police located him, but he later died from his injuries. His death was classified and investigated as a homicide.

The investigation quickly produced a description of two possible suspects or persons connected to the shooting. Witnesses reported seeing two Black men running from the area immediately after the gunfire, and one of the men was seen carrying a firearm. Police have not publicly identified either man by name, and available official accounts do not disclose a motive, describe what may have happened immediately before the shooting, or indicate whether Bourgeois knew the people responsible. Investigators have continued to emphasize that people in the community may possess information capable of moving the case forward. :chatgpt-content-reference
Years passed without an arrest, and in May 2013 the Nova Scotia government added Bourgeois's murder to the province's Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program. The program offered as much as $150,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible. At the time, Halifax Regional Police said they believed members of the community had information that could assist investigators and appealed for those people to come forward. The reward was intended to generate information that witnesses or others may previously have been unwilling to provide. :chatgpt-content-reference
Halifax police continued publicly appealing for information on later anniversaries of the killing. On the tenth anniversary in 2017, investigators again described the two men seen fleeing and confirmed that the homicide remained under investigation. On the fifteenth anniversary in 2022, the Special Investigation Section of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division again appealed to anyone with knowledge of the shooting, saying that even a seemingly minor piece of information could help advance the case. Police expressed hope that the passage of time might persuade people who had remained silent to provide what they knew. :chatgpt-content-reference
No publicly available official information indicates that anyone has been arrested, charged, tried, or convicted for Bourgeois's murder. Halifax Regional Police continues to include Glenn Brian Bourgeois among its major unsolved homicide cases, meaning the two men seen leaving the scene have never been publicly identified as charged suspects and responsibility for the shooting remains unresolved. The investigation therefore continues to center on information that could identify the person or people who shot Bourgeois and explain the circumstances that led to the deadly encounter that afternoon. :chatgpt-content-reference
