Global News
A gathering was held in Halifax on Sunday to call for justice in Devon Marsman's death, as three people are now charged in his murder.
Devon Marsman would have turned 19 on Sunday, Oct. 7 — but sadly, he isn’t around to celebrate.
“I want my son to remember he was truly loved, and I was blessed to have him,” said his mother, Theresa Gray.
“He was a great kid, like a great kid, that’s how I want him to be remembered.”
A gathering was held in Halifax on the weekend to call for justice in Devon’s death, as three people are charged in his murder.
Devon was 16 when he went missing in February 2022. On Sept. 17 of this year, Halifax Regional Police announced they had found remains believed to belong to Devon, and that two individuals — including Devon’s cousin — were charged in connection to his death.
Treyton Alexander Marsman, 26, is charged with second-degree murder, indignity to human remains, and obstructing justice. A 20-year-old who was a youth at the time of the murder is charged with accessory after the fact to murder and obstructing justice.
Emma Maria Meta Casey, 23, was arrested a week later and is facing charges of accessory after the fact to murder, indignity to human remains, and obstructing justice.
During Sunday’s gathering, his family shared the profound impact Devon’s death has had on them.
