This year, there has been an uptick in the number of individuals shooting at or into homes (including condominiums) in York Region--specifically in Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, and Aurora. All of these cities and towns have affluent neighbourhoods, more or less.

A double shooting yesterday at an industrial-park parking lot in Woodbridge, in Vaughan, has left one woman dead and an accompanying male suffering injuries that are not life threatening. The most detailed article I've seen online so far about this incident will be found at

http://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/719...ridge-shooting/

The natural tendency these days is to assume the double shooting yesterday has an organized-crime angle to it because of where it happened (Woodbridge is one of three Little Italies that the Toronto area boasts and is home to members of the 'ndrangheta, Cosa Nostra, and Camorra) and the Italian surname of the identified victim (Barberi). A quick Google search of the company named in the article reveals a staff consisting mostly of Italian-Canadians.

The article to which I linked above mentions a company. Two individuals listed as staff on this company's webiste have had a previous connection--perhaps still an existing one--to one or two companies involved in cannabis production. This may or may not have relevance with respect to the motives for the shootings and to the targets themselves. We may find out more if the male victim, who survived, is identified.

In the past week, there have been raids across Canada of marijuana dispensaries considered to be illegal. Again, this may or may not have any relevance.

Yesterday, York Regional Police released images of the suspect and the suspect's vehicle. Today, there were results, as the vehicle has been recovered.

There is now a second suspect.

I wonder if those two have any relations to Diego Serrano ?

^^^^
I couldn't find any in the last few days.

I think Serrano has only one son, Francesco. And then there's the adopted son, Cleavon Springer (http://www.facebook.com/cleavon.springer).

Thanks for the info.
I guess they still haven't released the identity of the other 40 year old person that was shot and survived.

The violence is getting ridiculous in the Greater Toronto Area. I fear that this latest shooting in Woodbridge (Vaughan) is tied to the Siderno Group.

Sad for the families, but a good thing for law enforcement.

The media is now reporting that this latest shooting victim died, apparently having been pronounced dead at the scene.

Yesterday, the York Regional Police tweeted it had a large presence at the address of 100 Regina Road. Siderno Group members own establishments and  properties on this road and in the area generally. That address is for the Club Cosenza, but the articles keep mentioning a shooting outside of a banquet hall at that address. Which is incorrect.

The banquet hall is L'Azzura Ballroom. Hoping to get some clarification.

One article says he was shot in the plaza and the other outside the banquet hall.

Victim has been identified as Domenico Triumbari.

Curious to know whether the contiguity with yesterday's murder of Antonio Sergi in Toronto means something or absolutely nothing. But those are storied surnames.

Does he have any relation to Salvatore Triumbari former member of the camera di controllo.

http://cp24.to/S9gcK5D

Ciment, we'll find an answer at some point. The reality is that Sammy Triumbari was murdered in 1967, and then for the longest time we don't hear or read of someone with that surname being involved in organized crime in the Toronto area. Same thing after Domenico Racco was killed in 1983--and he was Mike Racco's son!--with the difference being that, since then, I've never heard or read that surname again in relation to the Canadian 'ndrangheta.

But people with the surnames Sergi, Triumbari, and Racco are very much still entrenched in the 'ndrangheta in Calabria and elsewhere.

^^^^
I'll double check older articles I've saved to see whether I can find Triumbaris who have been associated with the GTA Siderno Group, as I think I have. I probably misspoke.

^^^^

Italian authorities say another wanted man, Cosimo Triumbari, 56, fled Siderno in 1988, after surviving a shotgun blast to his arm from a local mafioso. The Italians say they have issued warrants against him for extortion, loansharking, money laundering and Mafia conspiracy.

Triumbari deferred questions to his son, saying his English wasn't strong.

Told of the charges, Tony Triumbari said his father isn't hiding anywhere, and can be found daily behind the counter of his family restaurant in an industrial section of Woodbridge.

"I think you've got the wrong information, my friend," Tony Triumbari said, adding that it's odd to think of his father as a fugitive since he hasn't changed his name or gone into hiding.

"He wouldn't be here," Tony Triumbari said, gesturing to his father serving customers in Lanterna Ristorante on Edgeley Blvd. in Concord, which specializes in wood-oven pizza.

Tony Triumbari said his father hasn't been in Italy for 18 years.

Like Cosimo Triumbari, none of the alleged fugitives have tried to conceal their identities.

One more, but it's from a digital newspaper clipping; so I've typed out the last two paragraphs (below). I was unable to find related articles; so I don't want to speculate that the individuals named below were tied to the GTA Siderno Group. The Cosimo Triumbari mentioned below is probably not the Cosimo Triumbari named in the 2006 article in my previous post.

Angelo Triumbari, 30, of Dovehaven Court has been charged with breaking and entering and theft, possession of of heroin for the purpose of trafficking and possession of stolen goods.

Cosimo Triumbari, 33, also of Dovehaven Court, has been charged with possession of of heroin for the purpose of trafficking and possession of dangerous weapons.

One of my Twitter followers hinted that last night's murder victim Domenic(o) Triumbari owned a bottling plant--I think he was referring to the company with website http://www.triumbari.com/.

Salvatore (Sammy) Triumbari had been the president of Cynar Dry Co. Ltd., a soft-drink bottling company, before he was killed. After he died, his brother Giuseppe (Joseph) took over. So there is a very real possibility the company not only stayed in the family but also later diversified. There could be a relationship between Sammy and Domenic Triumbari.

Good research !
Soon we will be able to find out where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.

I don't believe in coincidence.
I assume Sergi is from Platì and Triumbari from Siderno.

Wow what's going on....this is intense.

You can clearly notice the difference in reporting style between Ontario and Quebec. If this was Quebec, they'd be mentioning mafia hit by now.

I'm not sure whether you're implying that there was tension between the two victims--and between any Calabrian crime cells with which each victim was associated--because they and the groups have ancestry from different comuni in Calabria. If I've misinterpreted what you've written, please correct me.

You and others could very well be right about the two murders in one day not being a coincidence, just as you and others could very well be right about the second murder being an act of retaliation for the first.

There are so many scenarios, though, and we don't definitively know whether these two victims were inducted into the 'ndrangheta or were Siderno Group associates. Law enforcement is looking at past murders, attempted murders, and arsons/firebombings in Woodbridge (Vaughan) and Toronto from at least five years ago, not just the two murders this past Friday. The recent double shooting in Woodbridge on Tuesday, March 14, is especially being examined; as Ciment wrote, Sergi's murder could be tied to that double shooting in which the young woman was accidentally killed. The problem for law enforcement is that contiguity in murder cases, while always needing to be examined, either yields instant results or leads nowhere. Add to this the fact that, in order to throw homicide detectives off the scent, criminals exploit the opportunity to kill someone in proximity to a recent murder to make law enforcement think the two murders are closely tied.

If Sergi and Triumbari belonged to the same cell, 'ndrina, crew, etc., let's not dismiss the scenario that these two were picked off by a common enemy. Then we have to determine whether the enemy is from within the Siderno Group itself, i.e., there has been internal friction.

Finally, because many members of Italian organized-crime groups don't believe in a statute of limitations for revenge murders, we can't dismiss a vendetta as being behind certain murders. While I don't think this is the reason behind the Sergi and Triumbari murders, I can't rule it out because I don't know why revenge might have been sought. At first I didn't think Domenic Triumbari was any relation to Salvatore Triumbari, murdered in 1967, but I know now I could very well be wrong--who knows whether there has always been some underlying beef or thirst for revenge?

Good post anti we have to wait and see anything is possible, I would like to point out the 'Siderno Group' is a name given by law enforcement in Canada for all 'ndrine operating there it's not a real organization like for example the Five Families in NY. The only thing that keeps it together is the Camera di controllo, but the groups are independent I think.

Whole lot of shooting going on.

From an older article written more than 15 years after Sammy Triumbari's murder in January 1967:

In another conversation with one of his sons, Giacomo Luppino referred to Salvatore Triumbari, a Toronto soft-drink manufacturer whose gangland-style killing in January, 1967, is unsolved. They talked about reports that some of Mr. Triumbari's relatives in Italy were considering trying to kill the man they thought had murdered Mr. Triumbari.

Police have released video footage in relation to the murder of Domenic Triumbari.
