Gregory Woolley shot dead

Well-known mobster Gregory Woolley was shot dead Friday morning in a parking lot in St‑Jean‑sur‑Richelieu. There hasn’t been any arrest.

An item from May 2022 warned Woolley that he should be careful, because the house next door to his in St‑Jean was shot up, presumably in mistake for his. But he stuck around.

Update from TVA: Woolley was killed while with his wife and their newborn baby, neither of whom were hurt.

More from TVA: The old “code of honour” is said to be slipping, killing a man in the presence of wife and kid having once been considered an outrage. And what consequences might this loss of a mob strongman have on the city?
