Charges of first-degree murder have been laid in connection to a May 2021 shooting.

The shooting occurred at approximately 3:30 PM on May 20, 2021 in the parking lot of a Wendy’s restaurant in Rock City Plaza. For more information, please see the original release Police investigating shooting death.

42-year-old Ronald Joseph Campbell has now been charged with the first-degree murder of Yasin Khan.

This shooting was carried out in a public place and in broad daylight. It takes time to gather the necessary evidence to support a charge of murder. I would like to acknowledge the dedication and tenacity shown by the officers of our Serious Crime Section who led this complex investigation and worked with several police agencies, RCMP Forensic Services, the BC Prosecution Service, and the general public, said Insp. Andrew Burton, Acting Officer in Charge of the Nanaimo RCMP.

Campbell is currently in custody.

As this matter is now before the courts, no further statement will be issued.
