$50,000 reward offered in unsolved Tay Township murder case
Officers with the Southern Georgian Bay OPP ruled Palmer's death a homicide after the 24-year-old was found with a fatal gunshot wound on July 5, 2021, outside a house where he was staying with friends on Old Fort Road in Tay Township.
Police said several people were at the residence that night. Officers did make an arrest at the scene, but said it was unrelated to the shooting. At the time, investigators said they had reason to believe Palmer's death wasn't a random act.

Police say dozens of witnesses have been interviewed in the case, but believe there are others out there with information who have yet to speak with the authorities.
In an OPP-produced video, Palmer's family pleaded for answers. 'What would you do if this happened to your child and no one came forward? Help our family heal,' Palmer's mother, Paulette Palmer asked in the video.
Anyone with information that might assist with the investigation is urged to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122, or Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous at 1-800-222-8477 or online.

Police received 'multiple' calls before Ladysmith, B.C., crash sent 2 to hospital
Police on Vancouver Island say they've arrested a driver after a head-on crash at a highway intersection in Ladysmith, B.C., on Saturday. Nanaimo RCMP say they received multiple calls about an aggressive driver of a Ram 1500 on the Trans-Canada Highway in the minutes before the truck crashed head-on with a Nissan Sentra. Police say the crash occurred at the intersection of the highway and Timberlands Road in Ladysmith around 7 p.m. Saturday. Mounties say the truck was reported to be speeding and hitting other vehicles while running red lights, and the crash happened at a "high rate of speed" after the Ram 1500 allegedly ran a red light, which they say caused significant front end damage to the smaller car. After the crash the truck kept going in the wrong direction in the northbound lane before hitting a median, RCMP say, and the driver fled before being picked up by police. Police say both people in the Nissan were taken to hospital by B.C. Emergency Health Services, and investigators are looking to speak with people who may have seen the truck swerving onto sidewalks, running red lights and hitting a maroon-coloured sedan on Aug. 2 just before 7 p.m.
