Cosimo Commisso & Chantelle Almeida -Shot Dead

A man and a woman are both dead after a double shooting in Woodbridge overnight.
The shooting took place outside an address on Castlepoint Drive near Highway 27 and Martin Grove Road at around 12:45 a.m.
Reports from the scene indicate that the windows of a white SUV parked outside the home were shot out and that broken glass was scattered on the ground beside the vehicle.

Evidence markers were also seen on the driveway leading up to the home.
Neighbours tell CP24 that they heard a series of gunshots, followed by a brief pause and some audible yelling before another burst of gunshots.
The victims were both pronounced dead on scene.
Investigators identified the victims as Cosimo Commisso, 33, of Vaughan and 26-year-old Chantelle Almeida of Toronto.
Police are currently canvassing the area for witnesses.
“There is an active plea right now for witnesses. I don’t have any suspect information just yet but if anybody was in the area at the time, has dash cam footage, security camera footage that would be helpful,” Staff Sgt. Dave Mitchell told CP24 at the scene. “Don’t assume we know everything. You may have the piece of the puzzle that may break this case and help us figure out who has done this.”
Mitchell said that the white Mazda SUV that was riddled with bullets is “obviously” a part of the investigation but he said that police have not yet been able to determine whether the victims were seated inside it when gunfire erupted.
He said that officers will likely be on scene all day.

Insane how these guys are still regularly hitting people. Canada LE need lessons! In the US the scrutiny these guys would get from hits would cripple them.

redditor and Ciment,

Thanks for posting the news stories. It's not up to me in which of the two threads people post about this subject. I myself was guilty of first posting about Rocco Zito's murder in the "Toronto-area 'ndrangheta internal war" thread--the post should have been the first post in a separate thread--but of course I and others continued to post in the aforementioned thread once there was any news about the legal proceedings regarding the murder trial.

The mention in Humphreys's article about the family of victim Cosimo Commisso being involved in the Dimmi restaurant in Woodbridge leads me to believe that this victim is related to Raymond Commisso--the Dimmi location in Yorkville, in Toronto, was opened up first, and my understanding has been that Raymond let his partner do all the hands-on work there.

CTV news report that the 33 year old Cosimo Comisso is second cousins with the the elder Cosimo.

The LE up there is more corrupt than here in the U.S. Undercover officers have a harder time up there and really do put their lives on the line. I forget which threads it is on here, but there are agents from the Royal Mounties, Scotland Yard, and a U.S. Federal Agent who talks about how corrupt Toronto, Quebec, and small cities in eastern Canada are. Two even talk about cops on criminals payroll looking into a person and gives the information to whoever paid for the info.

So the victim could be the elder Commisso's first cousin, once removed. Could be Raymond Commisso's son. Could be the son of another first cousin of the elder Commisso.

Or the victim's father is a first cousin to one of the elder Commisso's parents, which seems less likely because of differences in age (but you never know).

Very telling quote from the Edwards story:

Cosimo Ernesto Commisso clashed in 2016 with Anastasios (Tassos) Leventis, the brother of an accused drug trafficker connected to the Wolfpack Alliance, sources say.

Leventis, 39, from the St-Laurent borough of Montreal, was murdered in broad daylight in January 2017 in front of his condo complex on George St. near Adelaide St. E. in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, near George Brown College.

This definitely has something to do with the Leventis murder. Leventis was in Toronto to collect drug debts from Calabrian mobsters.... apparently, the Calabrians were refusing to pay. Like I said, Calabrian mobsters are not well liked in the GTA.

The Calabrians, especially the Commisso family, have been "top dogs" in Toronto for decades. And they've become very wealthy in the process. What's happening now, is younger, hungrier - but very organized and tough - gangsters are challenging the "old guard".

This is gong to escalate and I wouldn't be at all surprised if older, more "established" Calabrian mobsters are attacked.

Links below are to two pages that appear to have obtained information from a DeMarco Funeral Homes obituary for Commisso that must have been taken later down. The first link is to a cached version of the original webpage on obitree.com. The two pages contradict each other as to at which funeral-home location the visitation will take place: either the Woodbridge one (in Vaughan, north of Toronto) or the North York one (in Toronto).

I'm still not convinced that the man killed was involved in OC. Besides the fact that he's not known to LE and never had any legal issues, certain social media hints (Which I will not link) indicate that he was a regular hard worming man and his only crime was carrying that surname. What a shame if true.



Unless they're backed up by someone significant like the Mexican Cartels or other rival Mob families, I don't think this new group stands a chance against the power of the Ndrangheta.

The life story for Commisso is finally up. Here's the link:

http://demarcofuneralhomes.com/book-of-memories/3546352/Commisso-Cosimo/obituary.php

His father is Claudio Commisso, brother to Raymond. These brothers, along with their siblings, are first cousins to the more well-known Commisso brothers.

Edit: One of the more important pieces of information from the obituary is that Chantelle Almeida was not the girlfriend of the murdered Commisso.

How is it important that the poor woman who was shot was not his girlfriend?

She may have been and probably is 100% innocent in what transpired but in the eyes of a parent and an investigator who would want to explore all possibilities as to what happened prior & leading to the murders. There are many questions left unanswered like:

Was she the target of a jealous boyfriend? Was she just an innocent bystander? If Cosimo was the target was he followed or was he lured ? Did someone mislead her to get to Cosimo? So,yes it is an important piece of information.

^^^^
I'll add that there were two posters in this thread who asserted that Chantelle Almeida was the murdered Commisso's girlfriend and that one poster thought it likely the two were boyfriend and girlfriend. Furthermore, all the Italian-language articles being published by the Calabrian news outlets are incorrectly reporting that Almeida was Commisso's fidanzata.

This double homicide was terribly violent. Almeida might have been killed in the vehicle simply for being a witness. Commisso was found in the driveway when police arrived, suggesting that he was dragged from the car. I think that getting the personal details right about the victims is important--that is, we should ask who these people really were and were not. I have seen online speculation elsewhere about Almeida that has me wondering how complete strangers can justify her being killed because she was Commisso's girlfriend, which of course they got wrong big-time.

It is in Italian. Use the translate.

The same way the Calabrians bring in "shooters" to North America, it wouldn't be difficult to send an Albanian, Serb, Georgian etc shooter from this part of the world

so levantis was so powerful in greece to send albanians and georgians shooters in canada to avenge his brother? i know that albanians and georgians (roso pondi/russian pondians) in greece are enemies
more likely an other calabrian group or the caruana/c untrera

It won't even let me copy and paste

here where, in canada? extortions in canada i bet they are very rare and mostly controlled by italians
calabrians are enough strong in canada, but i'm right they are not as strong as people thing, sicilians are underrated for example, especially in toronto area
