Quote
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.


Double shooting in Woodbridge
Police tape blocks off a SUV where a man and woman were reportedly found shot dead early on June 29, 2018.
white SUV
A white SUV that a man and woman were reportedly shot inside early Friday morning is shown.
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.


I'm not sure exactly which thread this should go in so I will just give one for now. Antimafia or somebody who is a bit more informed can repost the link to which ever thread(s) they believe to be the correct one for this.

Could this be related to the Mustiano hit? or maybe its related to the Rizzuto's? Something else.

Additionally it appears that there are two Cosimo Commisso's. Cosimo Comisso who what shot yesterday and Cosimo Comisso 72 who was involved in the case below. Father and son. Jr. & senior.



Just to add some information here: Cosimo Commisso was most recently connected to the Ndrangheta trial of Giuseppe (Pino) Ursino altho Cosimo Commisso was but the charges were dropped.

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.

Antimafia,

I figured it was logical to put it in the "Toronto area ndrangheta internal war" thread and that is where you would want it to be.

I posted the National post article there too.

It was out of respect for you.

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.

If the Wolfpack that is allied with Montreal mafia is behind all this , a long protracted war will be in play.

Wow never would of thought there’s a corruption issue in Canada. I do note that there punishments are much more lenient then US and similar to the UK. Life without parole doesn’t really exist in the UK. Everyone gets out

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).

The US ranks higher in corruption than Canada does. Canada ranks 8th out of 180 countries while the United States ranks 16th.

https://www.transparency.org/news/f...5EAvJM9Dqejsyv0u7uTHr35albIaAmanEALw_wcB


If you would like to examine police corruption specifically:

Canda ranks 88th over all while the US ranks 78th overall.

https://www.indexmundi.com/surveys/results/1

Number 1 being the highest in corruption.

According to Business Insider there are 22 countries less corrupt than the US.

http://www.businessinsider.com/countries-less-corrupt-than-the-united-states-2011-12

Anyways this is starting to stray off topic. When you hear about corruption in Canada its a big deal because as the facts clearly show its one of the least corrupt countries in the world and so the media turns it into a big deal.

Wow I was thinking of the elder when I first read this. Still nuts though. Poor girl probably just made the mistake of being with him. Still showing why Canada is the best mafia story running today.

There's something very sinister about this hit, for starters, the girl was likely just a girlfriend, and it seems rather unusual for the Mob to hit someone innocent unless it was accidental.

Another weird thing about this is the person they hit is not someone known to LE despite the surname. So either they never knew about him and he was involved, or he got hit because he's a relative of the Commisso boss and the fact that he carries the same first name could be a message.

I wonder if this is retaliation to the Musitano hit, but the dead GF could indicate to a non-Italian group all together, Mexican Cartel perhaps? Who's knows.

The hit in March that they killed the innocent girlfriend in Vaughan was probably Italian,so who knows, i guess maybe it was something almost like a joey peeps scenario.

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).

In 2004 Toronto Police officers were arrested in a corruption case. They were shaking down bars and using the money to pay of gambling debts they racked up with Italian organized crime groups (Calabrian ones). The head of the police union at the time was involved as was the current head of the union.

Here is a link:

www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto-officers-charged-in-shakedown-case/article1137141/


Why am I posting this? Because there are reports Cosimo Commisso is related to the owner of a certain restaurant in downtown Toronto. And that person was involved in the police corruption case.

www.thestar.com/news/gta/2009/12/08/corruption_probe_the_clubs.html

So I think the Toronto police are full of crap when they say he wasn't "known". He may not have had a record, but he was definitely "known".

Btw, if this Commisso is in fact a cousin of Cosimo Commisso (the older one), there is going to be bloodshed. The elder Commisso is pretty much the "biggest" mobster in the Greater Toronto Area. If this wasn't sanctioned by him (and who knows with these things), there will be more dead.

Another thing is, non Italian OC in Toronto is not very fond of Italian groups. They try to avoid dealing with them as much as they can.

And a last thing that isn't mentioned much, is that Italian OC in the GTA doesn't consider it as "ratting" if they aren't dealing with police with respect to other Italians. It isn't uncommon for Italian OC to anonymously "tip off" law enforcement on other groups drug shipments for example.

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.

Good articles by Edwards, especially the one published online today.

I think that the male victim could be a grandson of Ernesto Commisso (d. 2010), whose sister Emilia (d. 2015) is mother to the three Commisso brothers (Cosimo, Remo, and Michael). So any of Ernesto Commisso's male children--Raymond, Claudio, Riccardo, and Johnny--could be the father of the recently murdered Cosimo Commisso.

His funeral was at the Greek Orthodox Church in Montreal.

2016 is when other individuals were also killed:

John Ignani associate of Cosimo recently killed

Sukhvir Singh Deo member of the Wolfpack

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.

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.

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.



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 DeMarco Funeral Homes obituary is back online. Link:

There is no life story; so no possibility of constructing a family tree based on the obituary.

What a shame if true.

He was definitely involved in OC. Most members of the Commisso family in the GTA are involved in one way or another. Some are involved in drug smuggling, some in extortion, some in strip clubs, others are so called "legit" and involved in construction, nightclubs etc... but they are all linked. Most ppl shot in broad daylight in targeted hits are not innocent. Don't believe what the police say, they have their own methods and agenda.

I have always said the Calabrians in Toronto are more numerous and powerful than ppl thought. BUT, the "Golden Horseshoe" area of southern Ontario has 9.5 million people and there is all sorts of OC. It is inconceivable that Toronto could ever be like Montreal where the bikers, Italians and West End Gang set drug prices.

The problem the Calabrians have in Toronto is they are "fat". They've made A LOT of money, and the younger generation just isn't as hungry as the old timers were back in the day. Are they willing to go to all out war with groups that oppose them or want a cut of the action? Are ppl that live in 7000 sq foot mansions in King City, with millions in cash, and many legit income sources, willing to get killed, have their family members killed?

Every so often in international politics, or local crime, the game changes... the board is reshuffled. This is what is happening in Toronto and Montreal. Nothing stays the same forever. Things change.
