The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in New Brunswick are investigating the death of a 57-year-old man as a homicide. Officers responded to a report of a sudden death at a residence in Shenstone, south of Moncton, on the evening of August 4th.

Upon arrival, police located the man's body inside the residence. The circumstances surrounding his death are being treated as suspicious, prompting the upgrade to a homicide investigation.

Investigators are appealing to the public for assistance, specifically seeking to speak with a male driver who reportedly stopped and spoke with an individual walking on Route 910 in the Shenstone and Hillsborough areas around August 2nd. Additionally, police want to interview a woman who may have provided transportation to an individual during the same period.

Anyone with information regarding the homicide or who may have been in the Shenstone or Hillsborough areas around the beginning of August is urged to contact the RCMP's major crime unit. The investigation is ongoing.
