UPDATED 5:14 p.m. Monday

Police are looking for another suspect in a fatal shooting in Halifax’s north end in May after charging one man with first-degree murder and a woman with being an accessory after the fact.

“The charges don’t end this file,” Bill Moore, deputy chief of Halifax Regional Police, said during a news conference Monday.

“Our investigators are still pursuing leads and trying to identify (another) individual.”

Dylan Peter Roach, 20, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Corey Duane Lucas, 36, who was gunned down in an apartment on Clifton Street on May 25.

Roach is also charged with the attempted murder of William Lee Boliver, 31.

In earlier media reports, Boliver said two men came into his home and shot them. Police said two young white men dressed in athletic clothing were seen fleeing the building after the shooting.

Two weeks after he was shot, Boliver was arrested along with two other people and charged with drug possession, trafficking and weapons offences.

RCMP Chief Supt. Jean-Michel Blais described the shooting as drug-related.

Police say they have not recovered the murder weapon.

Roach is in custody at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Centre in Dartmouth, where he has been since his arrest on drug trafficking charges during a search of a Kelly Point Drive home in Prospect just a few days after the double shooting.

He is expected to appear in Halifax provincial court Tuesday.

Jenna Karlene Piercy, 27, of Prospect was arrested Friday in Fall River and charged with accessory after the fact in connection with Lucas’s death.

Piercy is also charged with drug possession for the purpose of trafficking in relation to the May 28 search of a Kelly Point Drive home.

She made a brief court appearance Monday where she was remanded into custody until a bail hearing on the accessory and previous drug charges.

That hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

Wearing black Adidas track pants and a lightweight, black hooded sweater with a gold design, she looked down as she walked into court. Piercy gave a couple of slight, tight-lipped smiles to supporters in the courtroom and seemed to wipe away a tear.

“Love you, girl,” someone called to her as she was led from the courtroom.

Moore said police want to reassure the public that officers are working to get guns off the streets of Halifax Regional Municipality, targeting those who illegally have guns, are trying to buy them and trying to sell them.

“Much of the violence we are seeing in HRM is the result of competing street-level drug dealers who are using firearms more aggressively and violently than in the past to settle their disputes,” Blais said.

Many of the weapons seized have been stolen from legitimate gun owners, he said.

Blais also made a public plea, asking the public — “people who are tired of dealing with drug issues in their communities and the associated violence that follows” — to step forward to help police investigate those kinds of crimes.
