Tony Magi shot dead in NDG
Even in this weather there are people carrying out hits. TVA says Thursday’s victim is construction magnate Tony Magi and CBC says he has died. Daniel Renaud at La Presse has some of Magi’s background story as does, oddly enough, the National Post; although the NP’s accounting of various attacks on Magi, the Rizzutos and their allies mentions Ducarme Joseph, it doesn’t include the shooting death of Joseph in St-Michel in 2014.

This happened only a few blocks from where Nick Rizzuto Jr. was shot roughly ten years ago

Magi and Rizzuto Jr. were colleagues at one time, too. I’m not seeing anything yet guessing who might’ve had Magi in their sights, but I’ve seen surmises that people connected to Paolo Violi have been playing a long game of revenge against the Rizzutos and their allies. However, men in that world can easily make dangerous enemies.

Who’s left?

Plenty of people, Ryan, both those who’ve been enemies of the Rizzuto faction for years and some who were business partners and allies until the Rizzuto clan was weakened by Vito’s death. There’s bound to be more about it on Friday – see my later post.
