MTL's Most Notorious Crip Arrested

MONTREAL - Ninety minutes after surviving a Mob-style hit at his upscale clothing boutique in Old Montreal, Ducarme Joseph was seen speaking to a hit man in St. Michel, probably plotting revenge for the brazen midday shooting, a police detective testified Monday.

Joseph escaped out the back door Thursday as two masked gunmen sprayed his boutique with 50 bullets, killing his bodyguard, Peter Christopoulos, 27, and store manager Jean Gaston, 60.

Two other people were injured, including a 31-year-old electrician who was doing renovations in the store. Both are in stable condition.

Joseph was described in court yesterday as one of Montreal's "most dangerous street gang leaders."

When police arrested Joseph the day after the shooting, they found a sketch of a man on a paper with the words: "Are there photos of the guys to be eliminated."

Police contend Joseph is the leader of the "Gangs des 67," a powerful St. Michel street gang that is named after the bus route that runs though the district.

Gauthier said the gang is affiliated with the Crips, or Blues, and said Joseph is an admirer of a U.S. Crips gang called Folk Nation, based in Chicago.

Police say the insignia of the Folk Nation gang, a pitchfork, is inscribed on the sign for Joseph's boutique, called FlawNego.

When police drove Joseph to the Rivière des Prairies detention centre following his arrest, he asked to be placed in the S-3 wing, where the other Crips are held.

@7wardDeezo Thats what I was thinking,I mean I know theres gangs claiming to be crips across the states,but I thought chicago gangs had thier own thing,gangs that have been around as long as the crips or longer.Im sure thier confident enough in themselves to not be claiming an la gangs name.

@puregraffiti1

How do you 'control' a street gang, buddy? You watch too many God father movies

[dundem187]

I love when police & so-called experts put out false info & make themselves look stupid. Our so-called gang experts are frauds. Pricy middle class whiteboys who hangs with cops calling themselves "experts". & bravo to the media for their lazy journalism & fact finding techniques.
