A chilling murder from May 2022 in Montreal’s Villeray neighborhood has taken a major turn — a third suspect, 35-year-old Lee Van Smath Germain from Vancouver, has been arrested and is facing extradition to face charges in the fatal shooting. He joins Pedro Kela and Nicko Bélisle, already charged in the case. This is part of Project Alliance, a sweeping Quebec-wide crackdown on organized crime that’s led to 12 arrests since June 2025.
