Eight charged in targeted shootings during Metro's deadly drug war: "Police have issued Canadawide warrants for United Nations gang boss Conor D' Monte and purported hitman Cory Vallee after a major development Monday in one of the biggest gang investigations in B.C. history.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced that eight men linked to the notorious UN gang -- including D'Monte and Vallee -- have now been charged in connection with targeted gangland slayings in 2008 and 2009, one involving an innocent stereo installer.
The murders of Jonathan Barber on May 9, 2008, and Kevin LeClair on Feb. 6, 2009, were two of more than a dozen slayings of gangsters, associates, or innocents caught in the crossfire of a bloody gang war between the UN gang, led by Clay Roueche, and the rival Red Scorpions, led by the Bacon brothers of Abbotsford.
And now after two years of investigation by IHIT and other law enforcement agencies, 14 members of both the UN and RS are before the courts in separate, unprecedented murder prosecutions.
In addition to the eight UN-linked men charged Monday, four connected to the Red Scorpions were already facing first-degree murder charges in the Surrey Six slayings of October 2007. Two more RS gangsters have already pleaded guilty to murder and are serving life sentences."
