French-language journalist Daniel Renaud was interviewed by CTV Montreal News journalist Rachel Lau. This is what she wrote in her article, which is published in English (https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/reputed...w-scoppa-killed-in-pierrefonds-1.4647556):

Renaud told CTV Scoppa's death was [sic] not come as a surprise to those who follow the movements of Montreal's underworld, and likely wasn't even a shock to Scoppa himself. Police had warned him that his life was in danger at least once in the past few months, the journalist said.

With Andrew's death, the Scoppa clan has been wiped off the map, Renaud said.

"Whatever is left of their clan, if ever there were other individuals who were faithful to Andrew, they will doubtlessly head to other clans," he told CTV.

Nevertheless, I can't help but wonder whether there will be a revenge killing soon or three years from now, regardless of whether Scoppa's crew is no more. His friends/associates could become part of a crime group that doesn't like the way the Italian underworld is being run by whoever is the presumed leader(s) of the Montreal Mafia (Stefano Sollecito, or he and Leonardo Rizzuto), which Scoppa apparently was considered at one point in the last few years -- Scoppa might have had an extensive network of contacts, some of whom may also want to avenge his death; one article by Renaud from September 2018 mentions Scoppa's role as the Montreal Mafia's interim leader, and that in May 2016, the idea of Andrew and brother Salvatore being co-leaders was met with approval by the mafia in Toronto and in Italy, according to a source.
