The Government of Nova Scotia is offering up to $150,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction for the killing of 28-year-old Jayden Tynes.

On Nov. 2, 2025, police responded to a report of shots fired on Cain Street in North Preston. When officers got to the scene, several people were trying to provide medical assistance to Tynes, who was suffering from gunshot wounds, according to police.

Paramedics took him to the hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Police believe some people may have information that hasn’t been provided to investigators.

“If you know anything that hasn’t already been shared with police and could help with their investigation and lead to justice for Mr. Tynes and his family, I encourage you to speak up,” says Scott Armstrong, Attorney General and minister of Justice, in a news release from the province. “Even details that seem insignificant could be the crucial evidence that police are missing.”

The reward is payable in Canadian funds, and the amount will be based on the investigative value of the information provided. Anyone with information is asked to call the Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program at 1-888-710-9090.
