Major Organized Crime Arrest in Montreal
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested an alleged influential organized crime figure in Montreal on Tuesday morning following a formal request from United States authorities. Atna Onha, also known as "2-Pac," was taken into custody as part of an international investigation connected to a murder case in Colombia.
Connection to FBI's Most Wanted Former Olympian
The arrest is directly linked to the murder of Jonathan Acebedo-Garcia, who was killed in a restaurant in Medellín, Colombia on January 31. Acebedo-Garcia had been prepared to testify as a witness in an FBI investigation targeting Ryan Wedding, a Canadian former Olympic snowboarder who once lived in Montreal.
Wedding currently appears on the FBI's most wanted list for allegedly running a transnational drug trafficking operation that shipped hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico and Southern California to Canada and other U.S. locations. The FBI also alleges Wedding was involved in orchestrating multiple murders to further these drug crimes.
RCMP Confirms Organized Crime Operation
A spokesperson for the RCMP's C Division in Westmount confirmed to media outlets that an operation was underway on November 18, 2025, specifically involving organized crime elements. The operation resulted in Onha's arrest following coordination between Canadian and American law enforcement agencies.
This isn't the first time Onha has faced legal troubles. During a 2023 murder trial at the Montreal courthouse, an expert witness described Onha as "an important actor in Montreal organized crime." In 2019, he received three years of probation after pleading guilty to uttering threats in a case at the St-Jérôme courthouse, though extortion charges in the same case resulted in a stay of proceedings.
The arrest demonstrates ongoing international cooperation between Canadian and American law enforcement in tackling transnational organized crime networks with connections to violent crimes and drug trafficking operations spanning multiple countries.
