Kaylin Todd Diggs homicide has police searching for answers

Halifax Regional Police are still looking for answers into the murder of Kaylin Todd Diggs two years after his death.

Early on Aug. 11, 2012, Diggs was assaulted near the corner of Argyle and Sackville streets. When officers arrived shortly after 3:45 a.m., they found Diggs lying on the ground in Halifaxs bar district, unresponsive.

He was transported to hospital where he passed away a short time later. An autopsy concluded Diggs died as a result of injuries sustained in the assault and his death was ruled a homicide.

The Nova Scotia Department of Justice says investigators learned Diggs had left a Halifax bar and was injured as he tried to help a friend who was being assaulted by a group of males.
