The family of a man who was killed at a home in Kelowna, B.C., is appealing for anyone with information to speak with police investigating the 2009 homicide.
Paulina Pekova says the holiday season is particularly difficult without her brother Joseph Pek, who was 38.
She says Pek was a talented musician and athlete as well as a kind and gentle uncle to his two nephews.
The family is offering a $5,000 reward leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for his stabbing death outside a Kelowna home.
Peklova says Pek had a history with drugs and crime following multiple traumas that led him to addiction as a way to cope with his pain.
She says her younger brother was "loved beyond measure" and the two shared a deep bond.
