Three months after conviction in Halifax murder case, a second person now charged in 2013 killing
HALIFAX—Police have laid another murder charge in the 2013 homicide of Halifax’s Matthew Sudds, nearly three months after a jury convicted another man in the case.
Devlin Tyson Glasgow, 33, was arrested in Mission, B.C. on Wednesday and charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of 24-year-old Sudds, police said in a release Thursday.
Police say investigators travelled to Mission and worked with local RCMP to arrest Glasgow, who will be brought back to Halifax on Thursday, police said.
Sudds was found with a fatal bullet wound to the head in a ditch off Africville Road on Thanksgiving Monday in 2013. After an 18-day trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court, a 12-person jury found Ricardo Jerrel Whynder, a longtime friend of Sudds, guilty of second-degree murder in his death.
The conviction was handed down on June 22.
Glasgow’s name came up in association with Whynder throughout the trial, where the Crown alleged that Glasgow and Whynder both flew into Halifax days before Sudds’ death and arranged to meet him in the parking lot of a Burger King in the north end of Halifax.
The Crown said Whynder and an associate arrived at the meeting in a black Dodge Charger, waited for Sudds to get in the car and then drove out to the scene of the homicide in a secluded section of Africville Road.
Glasgow is scheduled to appear in Halifax Provincial Court on Friday to answer to the first-degree murder charge.
