Take a Peek into the Violent Underworld
Diving into Montreal's Gang Conflict
In a shocking turn of events, an alleged gang member, Omed Jafar, known on the streets as "Medo," has been granted bail, despite being charged with conspiracy to commit murder and premeditated murder. This suspect is believed to be entangled in the heated conflict between Montreal and Laval, with a dozen other suspects implicated in three gruesome murders.
As per Mayssa Ferah's report, Omed Jafar is accused of targeting members of the Downtown Project (DTP) gang and the murder of Christopher Shawn Jean Vilsaint, a prominent gang leader, according to our own investigations. Here's a quick breakdown: Jean Vilsaint met his untimely end in a shooting almost a year ago, causing quite the stir within the criminal underworld.
Police sources suggest that Omed Jafar is a member of the Laval-des-Rapides street gang, Flamed Head Boys (FHB). It's important to note that the reasons for the bail decision and the evidence presented in court are currently under a publication ban.
The massive SPVM investigation named Mécano was orchestrated to solve the murders of Noël Garcia-Frias, Justice Owusu Tajudeen, and Christopher Shawn Jean Vilsaint. Law enforcement officials believe that around 13 murders have been committed since 2019 due to this gang conflict, with the dismantled group aiming to eliminate a dozen enemies.
While Omed Jafar, the alleged murderer, has been released, his co-accused, represented by lawyer Mathieu Farazandeh, remain in custody. The mega-trial could potentially take place in 2026.
