Manitoba RCMP Renew Appeal in 2011 Homicide of Jason Nunn

Community Safety Alert: Public Assistance Needed in Unsolved Thompson Homicide

On the 15th anniversary of the killing of Jason Nunn, the Manitoba RCMP is again calling on the public to help identify the person or persons responsible for his death. Investigators believe crucial information is still in the community and could finally lead to answers for his family.

Nunn was 25 years old when he was killed on April 24, 2011, in Thompson, Manitoba. He was last seen leaving the Element Restaurant and Lounge at approximately 2:30 a.m. after a night out with friends. Just a few hours later, at about 6:15 a.m., his body was located in a parking lot behind the Juniper Centre on Nelson Road. His homicide remains unsolved.

Help Identify Who Killed Jason Nunn

The Crime Canada community is urgently asked to assist in this long-running homicide investigation. Even details that seem minor or uncertain could be vital when combined with existing evidence gathered over the past 15 years.

Jason’s family continues to live with the trauma of not knowing who is responsible. His sister, Maven Hall, has shared that Jason was training to become a mine refinery worker, loved playing the guitar, enjoyed dressing formally as a child, and was known for his humour and ability to connect with people. The RCMP and his family are appealing to anyone who may have seen Jason in the early morning hours of April 24, 2011, or who has since heard information related to his death.

CrimeCanada.ca Safety Perspective

From the perspective of CrimeCanada.ca, unsolved homicides like Jason Nunn’s deeply affect community trust and a sense of safety, particularly in smaller and northern communities across Manitoba. When a case remains open for many years, people may wrongly assume their information is no longer useful or that someone else has already spoken up. In reality, longstanding investigations are often advanced by new statements, renewed memories, or previously undisclosed rumours that finally get reported.

We encourage residents to stay engaged with local safety information, such as our ongoing community safety alerts and incident summaries. If you were present near nightspots, parking lots, or less-travelled areas in the early morning hours of April 24, 2011, think carefully about what you saw or heard. Reporting suspicious activity, unusual behaviour, or comments from others—no matter how old—can help investigators reconstruct events and hold offenders accountable. Collective vigilance and information-sharing are key to safer communities.
