A 35-year-old New Westminster man is facing a first-degree murder charge for his alleged participation in the 2012 killing of a Prince George man.
Following a three-year investigation into the death of Jordan Reno, Prince George RCMP announced on Thursday it had arrested five people in connection with the 22-year-old’s death.
Reno was found dead June 23, 2012 at a residence in the 4100 block of Knight Crescent in Prince George, according to a media release from Prince George RCMP.
Over the course of the investigation, police began to suspect Reno’s death may have been a targeted killing connected to the drug trade. A handful of suspects were eventually identified and, with the help of multiple police agencies, arrested, according to the release.
Bradley Douglas Barr of New Westminster, Lyle William Baker, 42, and Kevin Roy Zaporoski, 47, of Prince George, and Dustin Allen Lindgren, 26, of Edmonton, Alta., have all been charged with first-degree murder. They are expected in court sometime next week.
A 29-year-old woman was also arrested in Prince George in connection with Reno’s death. The investigation into her involvement is ongoing, according to the release.
