TORONTO — The victim of a deadly afternoon shooting on a patio in Toronto’s Little Italy during a Euro 2012 soccer match was a former member of an outlaw motorcycle gang, leading police to probe whether the motive was a mob-linked attack or a national sporting rivalry, sources say.

The gunman apparently disguised as a construction worker, including hat, safety vest and white filter mask, possibly as a way to get close to the victim with his face obscured but without drawing attention or sending a warning.
Sources say the 35-year-old Portuguese victim had been a member of the Loners Motorcycle Club, but had retired from the club at some point. The club is an outlaw biker gang founded in 1979 that has since been eclipsed by more powerful and larger gangs. The victim had a long association with bikers and maintained a “flashy lifestyle,” police said.

Police are not naming the victim, but sources say he lived on Crawford Street in a residence registered to a John and Michelle Raposo. No one at the address Monday would answer questions....
