In 2016, Marco Pizzi miraculously escaped a spectacular murder attempt in broad daylight in the east of the metropolis. Suspects had deliberately caused a traffic accident with Pizzi in order to shoot him. The latter had however managed to flee by running in a park crowded with children.
Between the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017, his used vehicle business – the very one that was the target of gunfire on Wednesday evening – was set on fire twice in the space of a few weeks.
The 53-year-old gangster also saw his personal vehicle set on fire by a criminal hand in the courtyard of his residence in the Rivière-des-Prairies district.
At the end of May, arsonists set fire to two cars parked in the parking lot of this same business.
Finally, in mid-June, a 16-year-old boy who was about to set fire to the Gestion automobile Plus company was surprised by local security agents.
They placed the young man in the trunk of a car and were about to enter the interior parking lot of the building when the police intervened.
Five suspects were arrested during this event.
