HALIFAX — A 16-year-old boy has been charged with the second-degree murder of a young Halifax woman found dying on a pathway, in what police now say was a random killing.
Chelsie Probert, 18, was found in medical distress on a north end Dartmouth walkway around 10 p.m. on June 6. She died in hospital.
Halifax Regional Police Supt. Jim Perrin said Friday there was a “violent act,” and the killing was random.
“I think any time situations like this occur, it’s alarming. It’s alarming to the public,” said Perrin during a news conference at police headquarters in Halifax.
