Overview
- D’Monte entered the plea Tuesday to one count of conspiring to murder Jonathan, James and Jarrod Bacon, leaders of the rival Red Scorpions.
- The case was adjourned to Nov. 12 to schedule a sentencing hearing, and he remains in custody.
- The 2009 first-degree murder charge in the killing of Kevin LeClair remains on the docket for now, with some reporting indicating it could be dropped.
- Police have described D’Monte as a senior United Nations gang figure who fled Canada, lived in Puerto Rico for about 11 years, was arrested there in 2022, and was extradited last year.
- Unlike first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder has no mandatory minimum sentence in Canada, though the maximum penalty is life in prison.
