Can we expect gang wars?
TVA asks whether the killing of Bobby the Greek means we can expect a heightened gangster war but who can say?
CTV talked to La Presse’s organized crime specialist, Daniel Renaud, about the “brazen” daytime shooting. Renaud points out that daytime shootings are by no means unusual in that world. He also doesn’t think a mob war is necessarily coming.
(Renaud doesn’t list the two daytime shootings that occurred to me – Diego Fiorita, shot dead in the Pizzeria Napoli in 2022, and Claudia Iacono, killed in the parking lot of her salon in 2023. Pizzeria Napoli had been a Quartier Latin presence for decades, but it’s gone now.)

I think a killing in a coffee place in a mall is a pretty busy location and really unusual, as opposed to daytime in a parking lot. Not unheard of, but usually they try not to involve so many civilians.
