Jaumar Maury Carvery, 21, was fatally shot in Halifax in the early morning hours of May 3, 2008. Patrol officers responding to gunfire found him unconscious on a walkway near Sunrise Walk and Olympic Court; he was taken to hospital but died shortly afterward. He was a three-time provincial high school basketball champion, known locally as Maury and Moose, and was the father of two young daughters.

Police treated the shooting as a homicide but disclosed relatively little about the evidence. Family and community members said a belief circulated locally that two young men had carried out the killing at the direction of a more senior dealer and that one of those men was later imprisoned for an unrelated crime, but authorities did not publicly identify or charge anyone in the homicide. The Nova Scotia government and Halifax Regional Police added the case to the Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program in March 2017, offering up to $150,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction, and investigators continued to appeal for tips on the 15th anniversary in May 2023.

Who in the neighbourhood might have seen or heard something that could move this case forward?
