Nathan Ross Cross was 21 when he was fatally shot on the evening of April 24, 2011, in North Preston, Nova Scotia. He was outdoors on Churchill Terrace with a group when an unidentified assailant fired into the gathering; Cross was struck, taken to hospital, and died of a gunshot wound. He was reportedly wearing body armour at the time but it did not prevent his death.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police opened a homicide investigation and said the shooting was believed not to be random. Several people were present who may have information, but investigators faced a lack of sufficient evidence to lay charges and the probe struggled to advance. In May 2013 the case was added to Nova Scotia’s Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program, offering a financial reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been made and the case remains unsolved. If anyone was at Churchill Terrace that night or has information about Nathan or the shooting, please share what is known.
