Man shot dead in St-Léonard

A man was shot dead in St‑Léonard Tuesday evening. The photo caption reminds us that Piero Arena was shot at in June on the terrasse of the Café Sorrento, but escaped unharmed. Tuesday, he was executed in the garage of a condo building on Jean‑Talon.

Update: TVA gets into aspects of Arena’s history and claims that he was an ally of the Cotroni clan. The Gazette’s Paul Cherry also gives a retrospective of Arena’s bouts with the law.
