1985-08-28 murder

picca. 1984

Michael Leonard Hamm was shot dead while walking along Windsor Street near Duncan Street on August 28, 1985.

Police were called at 7:45pm after gunshots rang out. Arriving officers found Hamm's body near the corner of Windsor and Duncan streets. He had been shot dead.

Before being shot, police believe Michael had left his Tower Road residence and he had been walking along Windsor Street. When he neared Duncan Street, they believe a suspect ran up to him, shot him, then fled the area.

Hamm had also been the victim of a shooting earlier that year and police haven't ruled out a connection between the two incidents.

Police can be contacted at 902-490-5016 and anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers.
