The sister of Tyler Keizer, who was fatally shot in 2016, is speaking out after months of keeping quiet due to a publication ban.
The sister of a Halifax man who was fatally shot in 2016 is speaking out after months of keeping quiet.
Adam Drake, 34, was found guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of Tyler Keizer last October.
But up until this week, Keizer’s family couldn’t discuss that guilty verdict because of a publication ban.
“Quite frankly, I haven’t been able to breathe since I lost my brother,” said Keizer’s sister, Kristin Kravis.
“I just want … everybody to know that my brother was a really great person. He really was. I just want people to remember the good in him, his smile, how he loved his family. It’s all important.”
The publication ban was in effect due to the fact Drake was on trial for another murder: the 2022 killing of rapper Pat Stay. The ban was in place to ensure a fair trial for Drake in the Stay case.
Once the jury in the Stay case was sequestered, the ban was lifted. In under 24 hours, the jury in that case found him guilty of second-degree murder in Stay’s death on Wednesday.
Keizer, 22, was shot while sitting in his vehicle at the corner of Gottingen and Falkland streets in November 2016.
