Ducarme Joseph was found shot to death on the streets of Montreal hit several times in the upper body. Joseph was the founder of the Montreal street gang called the 67s street gang and was considered by police to be the most influential and powerful street gang leader in the city with a long criminal record. The 46 year old street gang leader was believed by many including authorities to be the get away car driver in the murder of Nick Rizzuto Jr the son of former Montreal mafia boss Vito Rizzuto. Nick was killed back in 2009 near the offices of Antonio Magi who was also believed to be involved in the hit.
“Ducarme Joseph”
Vito Rizzuto died in the middle of an array of mob related murders which many believed to be his revenge for the murders of his father Nicolo and son Nick Jr along with the attack on his crime family by a rival faction possibly backed by the Ndrangheta. The latest hit on Joseph may very well be the new leaders of the mafia in Montreal showing their loyalty and finishing the vengeance of their deceased mob boss.
The bloody Montreal mafia war that began with the failed attempt to destroy the Rizzuto crime family while Vito was doing a prison stint in the U.S. has continued to see the body count rise. It is still yet unknown if the hit on Joseph was indeed carried out or authorized by the new mob leaders but the tracks of vengeace are definitely one of the authorities top leads.
Who are the leaders of the montreal mob now? I thought that with Vito Rizzuto son, brother in law and father killed during the war there would be no one left to revenge him when he died so I don’t think it would be a revenge attack
There is still what remains of the Rizzuto Family and the Sicilian mafia power base in Montreal and wouldn’t be shocked at all if this hit was indeed sanctioned by them along with the recent hits in Toronto. Rocco Sollecito is believed to be one of the high ranking Rizzuto family leaders who may not be in a top ranking spot along with a few other top capo’s under Vito.
Many believed that Joseph had been a marked man for a while now and was def keeping a low profiles since Vito was released and perhaps he finally slipped up. He had a lot of enemies past the mob but it seems like this could of very well been a hit by the biker gangs on orders from the mafia as they continue to clean house and settles old debts some of which were those of Vito’s.
why do the mob have a strong control over the biker gangs
Under Vito it was said the Rizzuto family had alliances and influence over a majority of the criminal organizations in Montreal and around Canada. It was also said he made deals to make everyone money and its part of reason he stayed in power for so long. Have to figure much of that influence is still in place today at least to some extent.
Yearh you cant imagine they suddenly lose there influence as soon as Vito died
