Suspect from Canada’s Most Wanted List Faces Murder Charges in Saskatoon
A man who ranked tenth on Canada’s Most Wanted List has returned to Saskatoon to face serious criminal charges, including first-degree murder. Jonathan Ouellet-Gendron, 36, was arrested on August 9, 2023, at Montreal’s Trudeau Airport. He was subsequently transported back to Saskatoon to answer for his alleged role in the death of a 29-year-old man in May 2022.
The arrest followed a coordinated effort between the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). According to an SPS news release, investigators became aware in early August that Ouellet-Gendron was located in Mexico. Following their findings, arrangements were made for his return to Canada, culminating in his capture in Montreal.
Ouellet-Gendron had been wanted by Saskatoon police since May 2022, when he allegedly participated in a homicide that occurred in the 700 block of Melrose Avenue on May 19. He was officially added to the Bolo Program—a list highlighting the top 25 most wanted fugitives in Canada—in May 2023.
In addition to the first-degree murder charge, Ouellet-Gendron faces multiple other charges, including those related to cocaine trafficking, firearm offenses, and possession of forged identity documents. These serious allegations reflect a broader investigation into criminal activities in the region.
Last year, a co-defendant, Mohamed Abdula Ali, was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in connection with the same case. This highlights the ongoing legal ramifications stemming from the incident that has drawn extensive public interest.
In an effort to provide transparency and maintain public safety, the Saskatoon Police Service released an eight-minute video on YouTube late last year. The footage documented the police response to the homicide, featuring dashcam video from a cruiser that captured officers arriving at the scene. It included footage of emergency responders performing chest compressions on the victim, as well as images of the firearms recovered shortly after the investigation began.
With Ouellet-Gendron now in custody, the legal process is set to unfold in the Court of King’s Bench in Saskatoon. The community remains vigilant as the case progresses, reflecting the serious nature of the charges he faces and the impact of violent crime on public safety.
