The two men shot dead in a borough building in Saint-Leonard on Christmas Eve are Marc-Hilary Dasilma and Davis Arbor, La Presse learned .
According to our information, the first, 41, was reportedly linked to street gangs while the second, aged 38, was a member of the Devils Ghost, a school club Hells Angels.
A transaction that went wrong or a conflict that erupted between the two men and other individuals present in the building at Jean-Talon Street East, near rue du Como, where the tragedy took place, could be the motive of the crime. Some sources do not exclude that the two men killed each other, which however was not confirmed by the SPVM.
Dasilma and Arbor were known to the police. Both had criminal histories.
According to some reports, Dasilma was involved in the fire of a Montreal dance club controlled by the Hells Angels during the 2000s.
Davis Arbor, meanwhile, had a history of drug trafficking.
The authorities have still not made any arrests in relation to these two murders and were still looking for "several suspects" who fled on foot in an unknown direction after the shooting was fired.
A 25-year-old woman was also in the apartment at the time of the murders. She was not injured, but was treated for nervous shock.
