Investigators with the HRP/RCMP Integrated Major Crime Unit made two
arrests this afternoon in connection with the 2010 homicide of
21-year-old Ryan Matthew White.
On July 22, 2010, officers responded to the 100 block of Jarvis Lane in
Halifax for a report of a shooting. The victim, Ryan White, was
transported to the hospital where he died from his injuries.
With the assistance of Hamilton Police Service, Major Crime
investigators arrested two men this afternoon in Hamilton, Ontario. The
23-year-old and 25-year-old, formerly of Halifax and Dartmouth
respectively, were arrested and are being interviewed at this time.
Recently, new information in this case led investigators to search Fort
Needham Park in Halifax on June 29 for evidence related to the case. On
July 6, White’s case was added to Nova Scotia’s Department of
Justice Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes which offers up to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the murder of
Ryan White.
Investigators are confident there are people who know information about
Ryan White’s homicide who have yet to come forward. They are urging
anyone with information about this incident to contact them at (902)
