Nakeem Jamar Johnson, a 36-year-old man accused of attempted murder, was arrested in Manitoba on September 22, according to Peel police. The investigation began on February 3, 2022, when officers responded to a shooting in Brampton near Queen Street East and Rutherford Road. The victim sustained serious but non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
In May 2023, investigators conducted searches at multiple locations in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), seizing five firearms, approximately 10 kilograms of methamphetamine, and substantial amounts of fentanyl and cocaine. Subsequently, a Canada-wide warrant was issued for Johnson's arrest on charges including attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, weapon offenses, and drug-related charges.
On September 22, Johnson was apprehended in Cross Lake, a northern Manitoba community, with assistance from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). He has since been transferred to Brampton for a bail hearing.
