Murder in Montreal-North The victim was associating with individuals linked to organized crime

Montreal) The 43-year-old man gunned down Monday night in the Montreal-North borough is Ernst Exantus, has learned from La Presse, an individual observed by police in a few major investigations in recent years.

The crime was committed around 11:50 pm Monday evening on the avenue de Paris, near the rue Monselet.

After witnesses contacted 911 for gunfire, police were dispatched to the scene and found the victim lying unconscious on Avenue de Paris. Resuscitation maneuvers were carried out by the patrollers, in vain, and the death was pronounced on the spot by the paramedics of Urgences-santé.
"The victim was hit with at least one projectile of a firearm in the upper body," said Constable Jean-Pierre Brabant of the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).
No one has been arrested. The investigation is being carried out by major crime investigators from the SPVM.
According to our information, Exantus, alias Kadhafi or Yéyé, was once part of the close guard of gang leader Ducarme Joseph, assassinated in 2014.

During the Magot Mastiff investigation, by which the Sûreté du Québec dismantled a motorcycle-mafia-gang alliance that led Montreal's organized crime in November 2015, Exantus was seen meeting a man connected to the mafia.
