Accused of orchestrating a deadly drug trafficking operation that spans continents, Ryan Wedding, age 43, has been placed on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list, joining the ranks of the most notorious criminals in America.
Once an icon of athleticism, Wedding now faces serious allegations, including multiple murders linked to his alleged drug empire.
As authorities intensify their search, a $10 million reward has been offered for information leading to his capture, reflecting the urgency and danger posed by this alleged criminal mastermind.
In June 2024, Wedding and his second-in-command Andrew Clark, age 34, also Canadian, were charged in an indictment out of the Central District of California with running a continuing criminal enterprise; committing murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and assorted drug-related crimes.
Clark, who was arrested last October by Mexican authorities, was among the 29 fugitives whom Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced had arrived in the United States from Mexico last week.
A superseding indictment also alleges that Wedding and Clark’s organization resorted to violence — including multiple murders — to achieve its aims.
Wedding and Clark allegedly directed the November 2023 murders of two members of a family in Ontario, Canada, in retaliation for a stolen drug shipment that passed through Southern California. Another member of that family survived the shooting but was left with serious physical injuries.
The FBI urges anyone with information regarding Wedding’s whereabouts to contact them via WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram at +1-424 495-0614.
Callers may also contact their local FBI office, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
Confidentiality will be granted to anyone who calls with information.
