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.
