A British Columbia man on Canada’s “Most Wanted” list for a murder charge has been arrested.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. (CFSEU-BC) said Conor D’Monte, one of Canada’s most wanted fugitives, has been apprehended and returned to a Canadian pre-trial facility.

CFSEU-BC worked with law enforcement agencies in Canada and the United States to arrange for the return of D’Monte, who was being held in custody in Puerto Rico after years of being sought for an alleged gang-related homicide.

“CFSEU-BC and our police partners from around the globe spent many years looking for Conor D’Monte. Just like other fugitives, including Rabih Alkhalil who is also one of Canada’s ‘Most Wanted’, CFSEU-BC and police will not stop until we catch those wanted for violent crimes,” Assistant Commissioner Manny Mann, CFSEU-BC’s Chief Officer, said.

“With the assistance of the BOLO (be on the lookout) Program, police agencies, and the public, we will be able to bring them before the courts so they can stand trial and be held accountable for the harm they’ve caused.”

CFSEU-BC said efforts would be made to support D’Monte’s prosecution, adding that, as his pending trial is in an active judicial process, the agency would not be commenting further on the matter.

A date or location for D’Monte’s trial was not disclosed.
