a 51-year-old man with a stab wound. Taken to hospital, he succumbed to his injuries. The victim was known to the police community, but the investigators do not confirm that there is a link with the dispute. According to our information, it is Vick Sévère Paul. The reasons for the conflict and the number of people involved are not known at this time. No arrests have been made. The file has been seized by the crimes against the person investigators, who will try to shed light on the circumstances of the murder. A crime scene has been erected and will be combed through by the forensic identification squad. His relatives murdered Vick Sévère Paul was considered at one time to be a street gang member of red allegiance in Montreal. He was the brother of Lamartine Sévère Paul, a close friend of Chénier Dupuy, who had tried to unify the street gangs of the metropolis in 2012. Lamartine Sévère Paul and Chenier Dupuy were murdered a few hours apart in August of that same year. Les Paul were also the cousins of the kingpin Ducarme Joseph who was shot in August 2014. According to the police, Ducarme Joseph and businessman Antonio Magi were implicated in the December 2009 murder of Nick Rizzuto, eldest son of Vito Rizzuto. Joseph and Les Paul are said to have been part of a group that provided protection for Magi and carried out contracts for the businessman in the late 2000s. Like many criminalized individuals, Vick Sévère Paul owned a condo at 1000 de la Commune in Old Montreal, a real estate project developed by Magi. The latter was in turn murdered in January 2019, presumably the victim of revenge by the Sicilian mafia clan, just like Joseph. Vick Sévère Paul had some criminal history in Quebec. He had notably been sentenced to a sentence of two years less a day for drug trafficking, following his arrest in Operation Loquace by which the Sûreté du Québec dismantled, in November 2012, a consortium of individuals who were trying to violently seize the monopoly of cocaine distribution in Canada. He had also been fined for a case of credit card theft in 1996 and was arrested for an attempted murder that occurred in Ontario's Niagara Falls region in 2009.
