A man wanted in connection to a homicide and serious assault in Dauphin last weekend is now in custody after RCMP caught up to him in Canada's north.
A Canada-wide arrest warrant had been issued for the arrest of Ryan-McKinnon for second-degree murder and aggravated assault charges following a fatal stabbing in Dauphin on the morning of August 15, 2020.
The RCMP says in a release that on August 19, at approximately 3:40 pm Manitoba time, Nicholas Ryan-McKinnon was located and arrested by members of the RCMP Whitehorse Major Crimes Unit and Crime Reduction Unit.
Whitehorse RCMP was working closely with the Manitoba RCMP Major Crime Services to find and locate Ryan-McKinnon, after it was learned that he had fled Manitoba and was headed towards Whitehorse.
The process to return Nicholas Ryan-McKinnon to Manitoba has been started.
The Manitoba RCMP would like to thank the Whitehorse RCMP, British-Columbia RCMP, the media and the public for their assistance.
