10th most wanted man in Canada arrested at Montreal airport: police
A man who's been on the list of Canada's top 25 most wanted fugitives for murder and drug trafficking charges in Saskatoon dating back to 2022 has been arrested at the airport in Montreal while police say he was returning to Canada. Quebec provincial police say officers from the Sûreté du Québec Airport Unit, the Mascouche Major Crime Investigation Division and the Canada Border Services Agency arrested Jonathan Ouellet-Gendron on several Canada-wide warrants at Montreal's Trudeau International Airport on Saturday. A Saskatoon Police Service news release from May 2022 says Ouellet-Gendron, 36, was first sought by police after being identified as a suspect in a homicide that occurred in the 700 Block of Melrose Avenue. He was added to the Bolo (Be on the lookout) Program — a list identifying the top 25 most wanted fugitives in Canada — in May 2023, taking the 10th spot. Story continues below advertisement Quebec police say Ouellet-Gendron is expected to appear in a Montreal courthouse Sunday. Saskatoon police said in May 2022 they responded to a report of an injured man, followed by multiple reports of shots being fired. Another injured person was reported to have been taken to hospital, police said.

Soon afterwards, police said they were looking to identify two men of slim builds that were seen fleeing the area in dark clothing — one carrying a bag with a strap. On May 24, 2022, police announced that Ouellet-Gendron was charged with first-degree murder in Baxandall's death. They said he was still at large and warned the public that he was believed to be in possession of a firearm and should not be approached. Story continues below advertisement Last year, Mohamed Abdula Ali was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the case. Late last year Saskatoon police posted an eight-minute video on YouTube about their response and investigation into the homicide. It included dashcam video from a police cruiser arriving at the scene, where a person in the corner of the frame can be seen performing chest compressions on a person on the ground. There's also video of officers with rifles arriving at the scene and more video of officers clearing units in the apartment building. Still photos of handguns are shown, and the video said three firearms were recovered in the hours after the investigation began.

Speeding, fleeing the scene, and possession of firearms: Quebec police arrest 3 young people
Three young individuals were arrested Saturday evening by the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) after a police radar detected a sports vehicle travelling at 194 km/h on the Champlain Bridge toward the fast lanes of the Decarie Expressway (A-15) North in Montreal. 'The driver refused to stop when the patrol car's emergency equipment—flashing lights and sirens—were activated, so a chase ensued for about 10 kilometers on Highway 15 northbound,' said SQ spokesperson Sergeant Audrey-Anne Bilodeau. 'The chase ended when the suspect vehicle struck the left-hand wall near Royalmount. The three individuals inside fled on foot,' she said. The three individuals were arrested by police. The suspects, all in their 20s, were to be questioned by SQ investigators, especially since firearms were found in the abandoned vehicle. 'Upon inspection of the vehicle, police officers saw two firearms, handguns, inside the vehicle as well as burglary tools. The three occupants are being questioned by investigators from the Sûreté du Québec's Major Crimes Investigation Branch,' said Bilodeau. These individuals face various charges, including possession of firearms and burglary tools. Two of the three suspects suffered minor injuries that are not life-threatening. The SQ investigation is ongoing. The SQ is stepping up surveillance operations on the province's major highways, particularly since the announcement of the worst construction holiday road toll in ten years, with 38 deaths on SQ-patrolled roads between July 18 and August 2. This is 25 more deaths than during the same period last year. This report by The Canadian Press was first published in French on Aug. 10, 2025.
