The victim, Claudia Iacono, was driving her car when she was shot before hitting a building on Jean-Talon Street, near Savane Street, at about 4:30 p.m.
Called to the scene, the police then found that the woman had been hit by at least one firearm projectile.
According to our information, the victim was the spouse of Anthony Gallo, son of Moreno Gallo.
It seems, according to our information, that the victim was followed by the killer or killers. Witnesses reportedly saw a suspect flee on foot.
Major Crimes investigators from the City of Montreal Police Service will have to determine whether the victim was the one targeted.
If this is the case, it is very rare for the wife of an individual related to organized crime to be the victim of murder.
