Carlos Pena Torrez’s legal matter in Quebec — he’s suspected of trying to kill Francesco Del Balso this past January 29 but mistakenly shot a 77-year-old man instead — will be spoken to today in Laval.
In Ontario, he faces several charges, one of which is conspiracy to commit murder for the drive-by execution of a man walking his dog in Schomberg, Ontario. York Regional Police theorize that Pena Torrez and others, having been hired by an unnamed organized-crime group, shot the wrong man — this murder occurred 14 days after the bungled attempt by Pena Torrez to kill Del Balso.
Carlos Pena Torrez’s matter is listed in the Courts of Quebec Hearing Rolls once again. The case will be addressed next on July 7.
He and his seven co-accused in the Schomberg, Ontario murder (mistaken identity) have all had their matters addressed at least once at the Newmarket courthouse north of Toronto.
