The Northwest Territories RCMP Major Crime Unit has wrapped up its investigation into a homicide that took place on May 17, 2024.

That day, Yellowknife RCMP responded to reports of gunshots at an apartment building in the city. When officers arrived, they found 30-year-old Jonathan Gon with multiple gunshot wounds. Despite efforts by medical personnel to save him, Gon was pronounced dead at the scene.

Major Crime investigators soon identified a suspect, but before charges could be laid, the individual died outside the territory. Police continued their work and have determined that no one else was involved in Gon’s death.

With that confirmation, the case is now closed, and RCMP are not seeking any additional suspects. Gon’s family was updated throughout the process and informed of the investigation’s conclusion.
