Police have charged a man in relation to the death of a man that occurred last year in Dartmouth.

Yesterday at approximately 9:15 p.m. investigators with the Guns and Drug Unit of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division arrested Lance Kevin Rogers, 19, at a residence in Dartmouth. Rogers is scheduled to appear in Dartmouth provincial court today to face charges of manslaughter and criminal negligence causing death in relation to the November 2024 death of Darian Clayton-Fleet who was 18 years old at the time.

On November 10, 2024, at approximately 7:20 p.m. police responded to an address in the 200-block of Craigburn Drive in Dartmouth for a drug overdose. Officers located Darian deceased inside the residence.

The investigative process led to the charges that are being laid today. Investigators are not looking for additional suspects, however, investigators continue to ask anyone with information who has not come forward to contact police at 902-490-5020.

Our thoughts are with Darian’s family and friends on the loss of their loved one.
