On January 19, 1999, at approximately 3:20 pm, police responded to a report of an injured man at 88 Queen Street, Dartmouth. Upon police arrival, the victim, Michael Joseph PEVERILL, was observed laying on the bedroom floor, having suffered from a fatal gun shot wound.

The investigation revealed that Mr. PEVERILL had last been seen January 19, 1999, at approximately 2:00 pm, entering his apartment.

Mr. PEVERILL and the previous tenant were both known for accepting frequent visitors to conduct personal business. Therefore, it was common to see a lot of pedestrian traffic in and out of 88 Queen Street.
