Gang fears put the wraps on Montreal strip club: "intended target in the shooting was the owner of the boutique, street gang leader Ducarme Joseph, 41, possibly as a response to the December killing of Nicolo (Nick) Rizzuto Jr., the son of reputed Montreal mob boss Vito Rizzuto.
Joseph slipped away from the shooting unharmed, but his close associate, Peter Christopoulos, 27, was one of the two fatalities.
A summons for the hearing detailed some of the thinking behind the police investigation of the boutique shooting. The Rizzuto murder is mentioned in passing, but police said that the slaying and the Aug. 21 killing of Frederico Del Peschio, 59, a close associate of Vito Rizzuto, are possibly related to the attempt on Joseph's life."
