During August and September of 2012, RCMP investigators initiated Project DAMPER, a long- term initiative focused on street-level drug trafficking. As a result of that investigation, 23-year-old Benjamin Joseph Goodine was arrested and remanded at the Dauphin Correctional Centre.

On September 21, 2012, RCMP received information that Goodine had contacted an associate in an attempt to persuade him to murder a 21-year-old Manitoba man in relation to the drug investigation. Goodine was in custody at the time of the offence.

An investigation was launched by the Dauphin RCMP and Dauphin Major Crimes Services. RCMP investigators have arrested Benjamin Goodine. He has been charged with counsel to commit murder and remains in custody.
