Suspect wanted in the murder of kingpin Gregory Woolley

Gregory Woolley, an influential figure in organized crime in Québec, was fatally shot in the parking lot of a shopping mall on Boulevard du Séminaire in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

The 51-year-old succumbed to his injuries despite being rushed to hospital.

This was confirmed by the Sûreté du Québec, which took charge of the investigation.

Woolley’s child and girlfriend were both present at the time of the shooting, but were not the intended targets. Gregory Woolley, a notorious criminal figure, was an associate of the Hells Angels, known as the godfather of Montreal street gangs and a man capable of mediating between various criminal groups.

The SQ is still investigating the murder.

They are currently looking for the black SUV that witnesses saw speeding away from the crime scene, but also for a suspect.

Images provided by the Journal de Montréal show at least one hooded man dressed in black speeding away from the crime scene, who would currently be a person of interest, i.e. a suspect wanted by police.
