(Bolo Program/YouTube)Winnipeg police are searching for three of Canada’s most wanted fugitives, as a countrywide search program updated its Top 25 most wanted list on Wednesday in Vancouver. Sgt. Paul Barber, of the Winnipeg Police Service’s homicide unit, said this is the highest number of fugitives the city has ever had on the Bolo Program’s most wanted list since it was launched in 2018. An acronym for “be on the lookout,” the Bolo Program runs awareness campaigns in partnership with Canadian police forces to amplify the names and faces of individuals wanted for major crimes via bright yellow ads running across the country.The program is funded by the Stéphan Crétier Foundation, a charitable organization created by GardaWorld Security Corporation CEO Stéphan Crétier. Winnipeg police are searching for Tresor Horimbere, 22, in connection with the shooting death of soccer player Mohamed Yusuf Abdullahi at a south end Winnipeg facility in July 2024.Winnipeg police are looking for Tresor Horimbere, 22, seen here in two different photos. He is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Mohamed Yusuf Abdullahi at a Winnipeg soccer complex on July 13, 2024. (Submitted by Winnipeg Police Service)Horimbere is wanted for first-degree murder and has been ranked at No. 4 on the Canada-wide list. A reward of up to $100,000 is available for any information leading to his arrest. Earlier this year, two other men — Ibrahim Bangura, 26, and Norbert Kipala, 27 — were arrested on first-degree murder charges in connection with Abdullahi’s death. Chad Jason Dandan, 24, is No. 7 on the most wanted list. He is wanted for first-degree murder, kidnapping and extortion in connection with the death of Zeyad Vifan Shammo in September 2024. Sonny Balemba, 26, and Robert James Chaykowski, 26, were also charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and extortion. They were both detained in custody at the time. Chad Jason Dandan is wanted for first-degree murder. (Submitted by Winnipeg Police Service)A third fugitive from Winnipeg, Yusuf Abdulqadir Ali, is ranked at No. 17 on the list. He is wanted for attempted murder and faces multiple firearms charges in connection with a West Broadway shooting that sent two men to hospital in critical condition.A full list of Canada’s Top 25 most wanted fugitives is available on the Bolo Program’s website. Yusuf Abdulqadir Ali is wanted for two counts of attempted murder and multiple firearms-related charges. (Submitted by Winnipeg Police Service)Barber said Winnipeg police “don’t want to leave any stones unturned” in the search for the three fugitives, and the Bolo Program will help drive attention and hopefully lead to their capture. “These are people that you’re going to see on the streets in cities across Canada,” he said, urging members of the public in other Canadian cities to keep an eye out for Winnipeg’s fugitives. Barber said Winnipeggers should also watch for fugitives from other parts of the country, as they may have fled to the city in an attempt to evade capture. “Criminals don’t care where they go. They’ll go anywhere. I think it’s totally reasonable to believe that they would be in Winnipeg at some point,” he said. At the news conference in Vancouver, which featured police officers wearing lifelike spoof masks of the fugitives’ faces, Max Langlois, executive director of the Bolo Program, encouraged Canadians to call police if they see any of the fugitives in their communities. “The dangerous individuals are somewhere among us right now,” he said. “Together, as a nation, we’re sending the message that we’re on the lookout for them.” British Columbia RCMP Deputy Commissioner Dwayne McDonald said the Bolo Program helped lead to the arrest of convicted murderer Rabih Alkhalil last month. “We are stronger together. Your eyes and your ears play an extremely valuable role in public safety,” McDonald said in an appeal to the public. However, if you do see anyone who’s on the Top 25 list, police are warning the public not to approach them, as they could be dangerous. Instead, police encourage citizens to pick up the phone and call them. The Winnipeg Police Service has a dedicated 24/7 hotline for Bolo Program tips at 431-334-9160.
