Former Canadian Olympic snowboarder and FBI Ten Most Wanted fugitive Ryan Wedding has been captured, sources confirmed to Fox News on Friday. Wedding, 44, and 14 other alleged associates were accused of orchestrating the January 2025 murder of a witness who was shot and killed at a restaurant in Colombia.

Wedding placed a bounty on the victim’s head thinking the victim's death would lead to the dismissal of charges against him and the drug-trafficking ring he allegedly heads, according to an indictment unsealed in November.
