Two RCMP constables showed up at a Dartmouth, N.S., home on Friday searching for a drunk driving suspect, seemingly unaware the man they wanted to speak to had been found dead more than a year ago in a homicide case that remains unsolved.

The incident was captured on a doorbell camera at the home of Leslie Sparks, mother of Tyrell Beals, and shared with CBC News.

Beals's body was discovered last May near a road in North Preston and RCMP said the 36-year-old had sustained gunshot wounds. Two months ago, the Mounties issued a news release asking for help to solve the homicide.

An RCMP spokesperson declined an interview about Friday's incident, but said in a statement that officers were responding to a report of an impaired driver in the 800 block of Sackville Drive in Lower Sackville.
