The problem is that two targets of shootings since Saturday, September 29, bear the surname Pietrantonio, which is the surname of Montreal Mafia member Antonio Pietrantonio, aka Tony Suzuki, who was shot last December and survived.

Paul Cherry of the Montreal Gazette had reported the following in one version of his article published online last Friday, October 5, about the release of Vito Rizzuto:

Meanwhile, it appears the violence that plagued the Mafia in Montreal after Rizzuto’s extradition in 2006 continued as recently as last weekend.

A 28-year-old man who was shot in a town in the Laurentians on Saturday [antimafia's note: Saturday, September 29] is the son of Antonio (Tony Suzuki) Pietrantonio, a man police have described as having close ties to the Mafia.

Someone tried to kill the elder Pietrantonio in December outside a restaurant in Montreal. He also survived the shooting.

A police source said the more recent shooting appears to be related to a continuing dispute between people who remained loyal to the Rizzuto clan in its leader’s absence and those who sought to a change in leadership.

Here's a link to the cache of that article version:

Earlier version of Cherry's article

And here's a link to the final article version, published Saturday, October 6, which neither mentions the shooting in late September nor Tony Suzuki.

So here's what I've understood from reading the various articles about the shootings in the last two weeks:

*The target of the Saturday, September 29 shooting was Tommy Pietrantonio. He survived.

*One of the two targets of yesterday's shooting is Vincenzo Pietrantonio, Tommy's father. Although earlier reports suggested Vincenzo succumbed to the injuries, the other victim yesterday is the one who died.

*The Pietrantonios are not related to Tony Suzuki.
