VANCOUVER – Five people have now been arrested and charged in connection to a murder that took place in Prince George in 2012.
On June 23, 2012, 22-year-old Jordan Christian Reno was found dead on a property in the 4100-block of Knight Crescent in Prince George. His death was determined to be a homicide and over the past three years, Prince George RCMP’s Serious Crime Section focused on the possibility that Reno was the victim of a targeted homicide with ties to the illicit drug trade.
First degree murder charges have now been approved against:
- Lyle William Baker, 42.
- Kevin Roy Zaporoski, 47.
- Bradley Douglas Barr, 35.
- Dustin Allen Lindgren, 26.
The four men were arrested in the past few days in New Westminster, Edmonton and Prince George. They are expected to appear in court today or early next week.
A fifth person, a 29-year-old woman, has also been arrested. Police say they will be seeking charge approval for murder against her.
