FOUR suspects — 20-year-old Ali Shamkhi, 23-year-old Rhoda Diabikulu, 20-year-old Ousmaine Keita and 20-year-old Rais Usman — have been charged in connection with the 2023 homicide of Ryan Nagy in Burnaby.

On June 29, 2023, at 7:05 a.m., Burnaby RCMP received a report of an incident at a residence in the 7600-block of 17 Avenue. Police located a 19-year-old man, later identified as Ryan Nagy, suffering from life-threatening injuries. Despite the best efforts of the first responders, the victim succumbed to his injuries on scene. A second victim was located with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the investigation and worked closely in partnership with the Burnaby RCMP, BC Coroners Service, and the Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS).

On September 14, 2024, the BC Prosecution Service laid charges of manslaughter and forcible confinement against Shamkhi, Diabikulu, Keita and Usman.

Investigators can confirm all four suspects have been arrested and will remain in custody until their first court appearances.

“Our team worked diligently and tirelessly to bring this file to charge approval,” said Cpl. Chase Smith of IHIT on Saturday. “IHIT would like to recognize our partners at Burnaby RCMP, Coquitlam RCMP, Surrey RCMP, Abbotsford Police Department, and IFIS, for their assistance throughout this investigation.”

As this matter is now before the courts, no further information will be released, police said.
