About this episode

Winnipeg police have apprehended the last of three suspects in the abduction and murder of Zeyad Shammo, a 22-year-old Ontario man. Chad Jason Dandan, a 25-year-old, faces first-degree murder, kidnapping, and extortion charges. He was captured in Surrey, British Columbia, and transported back to Winnipeg for interrogation. The investigation began after Shammo was reported missing, and his body was later discovered in a house near Bristol Avenue. Two other suspects, Sonny Balemba and Robert James Chaykowski, were also arrested and charged.

The final piece of this grim puzzle just clicked into place. Winnipeg police nabbed the last of three suspects in the abduction and killing of a 22-year-old Ontario man back in September. Chad Jason Donden, a 25-year-old, faces first-degree murder, kidnapping, and extortion charges for the death of Zeyad Shamo on September 10, 2024. Danden had a Canada-wide war now for him and got picked up in Surrey, British Columbia, on March 26th. Several special enforcement teams and a Bolo program helped bring him in quick. They flew him straight back to Winnipeg, where he's locked up with the major crimes unit. This all started when cops got a call about Shamo missing after an abduction the day before. They rushed to a spot on Bridge Lake Drive in South Winnipeg that evening. A few days later, they found his body in a house near Bristol Avenue in the St. Boniface neighborhood. Two other guys known to Shamo, Sunny Belimba, and Robert James Shikowski, evil 26 at the

time, got arrested right away with the same heavy charges. Shikowski also caught an extra count for blowing off his release order. Cops even linked a vehicle to the whole mess. Now with all three in custody, investigators can push forward on wrapping this case tight, bringing some closure to Shamo's family after months on. The run. That's your Vancouver news today update, AI powered and always on.
