SURREY, B.C. — Police say a Canadian gang leader who escaped to Puerto Rico and posed as a businessman has been returned to Canada to face trial for his alleged role in a 2009 homicide in Vancouver.

British Columbia's gang squad, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, says Conor D’Monte is being held in a Canadian pretrial facility after his arrest in 2022.

The shooting death of Kevin LeClair at a Vancouver strip mall came during a violent gang war in B.C.'s Lower Mainland that included brazen shootings in public. D’Monte's arrest came after the unit partnered with the Be On The Lookout Program, a Canadian public safety project, and offered a reward up to $100,000 for any information that would lead to his arrest.
