Former Prince George Man Faces Murder Charge

Prince George- A man with many connections to Prince George has been charged with first degree murder in connection with the stabbing death in August of 2011.
Joshua Tyler Bredo, who also went by the name Joshua Baba in Prince George, is charged in the death of Daniel Jordan Levesque. Levesque had moved to Victoria from Revelstoke and was stabbed to death in a Cormorant Street apartment.
Bredo was arrested Saturday in Okotoks Alberta, just south of Calgary.
Victoria police say they originally were asking for a charge of second degree murder in the stabbing death, but the Crown considered new evidence that prompted the more serious charge.
Bredo, formerly known as Joshua Baba, was involved in the campaign to elect Dick Harris. Harris had him removed from any association following false allegations dealing with Harris’s campaign.
He also attempted to become involved in a local woman’s election bid for City Council in the 2008 municipal election.
Bredo’s history includes at least three aliases, Joshua Baba, Joshua Chartier, and Josh Mitchell.
He was employed for a short time as an assistant to George Dadamo who was running for the post as Mayor of Calgary in 2009. He was later fired and Dadamo dropped out of the mayoral race.
Was involved in the 2010 federal conservative campaign for David Wilks, the former mayor of Sparwood. Wilks claims Bredo quit and that he was left with costs for campaign items he had never approved.
There was the matter of solicitation of funds in the City of Cranbrook which lead to that city releasing a warning about “Joshua Chartier” .
And there was the promise of a fundraiser in the wake of the death of Mathew McCully, a Canadian soldier who died in Afghanistan. That effort left broken promises and outstanding bills for a fundraising event that was cancelled at the last minute.
