Halifax Regional Police are trying to locate a Good Samaritan who stopped to help a teen who was stabbed in a parkade at the Halifax Shopping Centre early on the evening of April 22.

The victim, 16-year-old Ahmad Maher Al Marrach, died later in hospital.

On Tuesday, police issued a news release asking to speak with the Good Samaritan. They said they've been unable to identify the man, so they were asking for the public's help.

Const. Paul DesRochers said investigators have determined the man was riding a motorcycle and wearing a dark jacket, grey pants and a black helmet.

Four teenagers have been charged with murder in Al Marrach's case. They're scheduled to go on trial in Nova Scotia youth justice court this fall.

Ahmad Al Marrach came with his family to Canada from Syria as refugees eight years ago. He was a student at Citadel High School.

Utah Supreme Court overturns death sentence for man convicted of murder in rape cover-up
Utah’s Supreme Court overturned a death sentence Thursday for a man convicted of murdering a woman to stop her from testifying against him in a rape case. Justices said Douglas Lovell had ineffective attorneys at his sentencing hearing, but upheld his conviction and sent the case back to a lower court for resentencing. The Utah Attorney General’s Office — the prosecutors in the case — did not have an immediate answer Thursday as to whether Lovell could again receive a death sentence, spokesperson Alex Curcio said.
