A man shot dead in Dollard-des-Ormeaux

https://montrealgazette.com/news/lo...land-settling-of-accounts-police-believe

Fatal shooting outside Galeries des Sources was a gangland settling of accounts, police believe

from these 3 articles it looks like cantave was a blues allied member linked to markens vilme (imprisoned) and atna onha (still unsure of spelling). onha has recentlu been linked to patrick lock a f.p. HA member from either the trois rivieres chapter or montreal. vilme has also been linked to youness aithaqi (imprisoned) a gang member alleged to be responsible for directing arsons against both the accurso family and businesses in the laval area. if we take away anything from this it can be that the victim was NOT allied with the rizzuto-sollecito clan or mirarchi, or for that matter any other clan. cantave would then fall into those allied with HA if but barely. i mention the mafia clans only because i think its important to try to decipher with these gang hits which are related to a possible conflict between criminal groups and which are gang disputes arising from facebook rap videos or other minor incidents totally unrelated to organized crime. this murder appears to be related to a conflict not a petty dispute. the readiness of the press and police to name his associates and long criminal record doesnt put him in the low level gang banger category to me.

so possible related to rizzuto-sollecito clan vs. MTL HA
turmel allied gangs vs. HA

....??? for now, i guess we will see...eventually.

VitoCahill where are you getting Patrick Lock might be a Montreal Hells Angel? He was a Trois-Rivières member and then went to the Ontario Nomads when they reopened with Steven Collard and is probably still with the Nomads.

i believe he is a member of trois rivieres. i have heard he could have switched to mtl. i cannot recall where or what article. i do remember the ref in 2018 to him patching over to ottawa nomads chapter but as far as that info goes it ended in 2018 or shortly there after. there has been no good evidence in 6 yrs now that lock has anything to do with ottawa. in 2021 proj. pouboire steve collard was arrested and charged with being a trois rivieres prospect in charge of a drug network in drummondville area. he was sentenced oct.26 2022 to 42 mths in prison. collard was getting cocaine from jean paul ramsay with his son jessy ramsay-koch acting as middle man. so i think we can rule out collards connection to ottawa. as far as lock i guess i will rule out the mtl chapter. if lock is operating in ottawa it is completely under the radar.

Looks like we both are wrong and have dated info. I just found a article from 2022 that puts him as a member of the South chapter and I think that'd the most recent id we have now.

A man known to the police is the victim of an attempted murder by shooting

The victim is Ali Chaaban Lebanese?

Well I think its fair to keep an eye on Atna Ohna.

Feburary 6, Stevens Cantave is killed in Dollard-des-Ormeaux.

https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/...-tue-par-balle-a-dollard-des-ormeaux.php

According to our information, Stevens Cantave was also, at least at some time, close to Atna Onha, another member of a blue allegiance street gang who has often been talked about in the criminal community for several months.

On Feburary 9, there is a hit on Ali Chaaban.

https://ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/2048356/tentative-de-meutre-laval-ali-chaban-enquete

The police consider Chaban as a close friend of Ahna Otna, who exerts a certain influence in the street gang community of Greater Montreal.

Look like people close to Ohna are getting hit.

Former police officer Jimmy Chérizier, alias “Barbecue,” is one of Haiti's most important gang leaders. He is best known for establishing the G9 and Family (G9 an fanmi – G9), a criminal federation of nine powerful gangs in Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince.

Article has been updated.

Retialation for Stevans death?

Gregory Woolley's murder has caused a power struggle among the Haitians I think.

Interesting. Are you saying it may be an internal feud for leadership of the Blue gang ?

No. Just wondering based on the past killing that's tied to the different factions of gangs.

Things are getting hot in montreal.
Many gangs are at war.

« it may be an internal feud for leadership of the Blue gang ? »
There is no one entity of the blue gang. There are many crip gangs in montreal. And the syndicates was an alliance of many of those blue gangs. But there are still many powerful crip gangs that are not part of the syndicates, and many we’re enemies with the syndicates.

Otna for example, is part of a crip gang that is against the Syndicates.

« Gregory Woolley's murder has caused a power struggle among the Haitians I think. »

The syndicates are going into a turmoil right now, so people allied with the enemies of the syndicates are going after them.
But some hits last week, against people close to Otna may been have made by the syndicates.

The syndicates made alot of enemies during many years. Enemies with some blood gangs and some crip gangs.
Also, people in the street want to be the next Woolley, but time will tell us if someone can fill those shoes.

Otna seem king of young and hot headed.
Celestin, some guys don’t want to follow him, because of is sexual orientation.
The Bloods from Montreal seem to doing problem in Quebec City.

Good insight Blackmobs !

Will be interesting to know, what alliances will develop at end of all of this, and under who's leadership.

Thanks @Ciment

Yes, for now its too early to know the alliances pf the many different gangs in Montreal.

But you got some key players that we most keep an eye on.

Ahna Otna.
Seem like this guy is a crip.
Two peop’e of his entourage got hit the last two weeks.
Steven Cantave got killed in DDO.
Chaban (probably a lebanese) survive an murder attempt

The guys from the Syndicates:
Emmanuel Zephir.
People outside of Montreal don’t know how important this guy is in the Montreal gang scene.
He was the leader of the most famous crip gang in all of Montreal, the Crack Down Posse (CDP).
Him and his brothers are really heavy, and control many part of the eastside of montreal.
They also control the most famous crip hoods in Montreal, a part of St-Michel, called Pie-9.
So, are the Zephir brothers still allied with the Rizzuto or the HA ?
And are they still allign or part of what was called the Syndicates ?

Sprince Cadet:
The real right hand man of Woolley since the biker war, and even before that.
Heavy in the St-Michel neighborhood and parts of Montreal.

The Celestins:
The Celestins just lost one of there own.
They are 5 brothers, and most of them are involve in the criminal world (don’t know if its all of them).
They will want revenge
Heavy in many lucrative hoods in Montreal, parts with alot of tourists.

The Bloods:
Mostly the bloods from the eastiside of Montreal.
Hoods from Montreal-North and RDP
The younger generation are at war, but look like the older cats are still cool.
Should keep an eye on them, because many have a grudge against Woolley and the Syndicates.
Mompoint was from this part of gangs of montreal.

Western part of montreal.
You got many hoods from the western part of Montreal. Are they involve in this power struggle in Montreal ?
The Rollin 90s, a gang from pierrefonds, is a key suspect in the murder of BM.
A member from the Ruff Ryders (older pierrefonds gang) got killed in december.
And you got other neighborhoods like south-west, lasalle etc.

Thank again, great info !

blackmobs is the recently turmel right hand james celestin any relation to mtl gang leader jean phillippe? i saw above he has several brothers, or is it a common name amongst haitian gangs. top notch info as always, appreciated.

Don’t know if the two are related, but Celestin is a common name in the haitian community, but also all the french islands in the caribbean.

***Fun fact, Rony Celestin is a haitian senator who bought a 4.25 million dollars mansion in Laval.
He is accused of drug trafficking in haiti.

Btw, thank you

Interesting, so members of the Marauders, puppet club of the Hells Angels were doing security in the funerals.

Yes interesting, Gregory Woolley's murder did not cause division between the Blue and HA.
