Friends and family members of Halifax murder victim Tanya Brooks gathered Friday to mark the 10th anniversary of her death. Holding posters and images of Tanya, dozens of supporters marched from the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre to St. Patrick’s-Alexandra School, where they gathered for a remembrance ceremony.

The body of Tanya Brooks was found in a basement window well of St. Patrick’s-Alexandra School in Halifax on May 11, 2009... As they mark the 10th anniversary of Tanya’s murder, both the police and her family are asking anyone with information about the case to come forward. “Ten years is too long and it shouldn’t have been this long,” says Vanessa [her sister].

Investigators say Tanya was known to frequent the Gottingen Street area. She was last seen leaving police headquarters on the street around 8:20 p.m. the night before she was found dead. Investigators believe Brooks knew her killer and that there are people who have information who have not spoken to police.
