Pat Stay Homicide: Man Charged With First-Degree Murder
A man has been charged in connection with the stabbing death of battle rapper Pat Stay earlier this month.
According to a press release issued by the Halifax Regional Police, Adam Drake, 31, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Our heart hurts for his family and friends at this time so we hope to help ease some of the pain by ensuring his family has help through this process."
