On April 9, Montreal police released two other videos that captured the images of two men believed to have been the gunmen in the double slaying. Police said they obtained new information through releasing the video.
No arrests have been made in the investigation. But last month Montreal police released information, during a hearing before Quebec’s liquor board, in which they stated they feared Richard Goodridge, 41, a former associate of Joseph, could become the target of reprisals in the Flawnego shooting.
Police believed someone would be the target in a shooting similar to what happened at the clothing boutique.
Gang members loyal to Goodridge are believed to have held a meeting at the strip bar the night after the shooting at Flawnego.
Goodridge is alleged to have become a silent partner in a strip club in 2008 along with members of the Montreal Mafia.

Tired of all this Dallas Stars talk that’s been dominating the airwaves? Here’s a welcome change of pace.
Good morning, hockey fans! Here’s hoping you bet the farm on Jaroslav Halak’s 0-9 record when facing 25 or fewer shots this postseason, and became rich beyond any easily-impressed GM’s wildest dreams. Last week we took science and reason and twisted them to our own nefarious purposes to prove Only-God-Knows-What; this week, I was planning on taking a break from the media circus surrounding the Dallas Stars and getting in a little R&R at my favorite rural Illinois strip club,
Phat Cows, but recent events in el mundo de hockey stayed my course. Of course, I’m talking about the historic Stanley Cup Finals matchup between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Philadelphia Flyers, two teams whose last Stanley Cup victories can be measured in geologic terms.

At this point, I really didn’t know what the situation with Bret was. My feeling was that Vince wanted to get the title off him. His contract was taxing the companyway too much if he wasn’t going to be the man. I didn’t know where Steve Austin was in his talks with Vince. I’m sure they already had an idea of where they were going long-range. The ideal situation for Steve was to win the title from a white-hot heel. Bret certainly wasn’t one. I, on the other hand, was there. It made sense to me that Vince would want to put the title on me and then have Steve beat me.”
