Joseph is believed to have escaped injury in the shooting by fleeing through the boutique’s back door. He was arrested shortly afterward for violating a conditional release while he faced an assault charge in Montreal court. He pleaded guilty to the assault in April and remains behind bars.
According to a source in the major crimes squad, Regis is “possibly” linked to Richard Goodridge, 41, a former associate of Joseph through a street gang.
Police say they believe Goodridge and Joseph are enemies and were involved in a conflict over drug trafficking turf in 2009 and this year.
In April, Montreal police had the licence of a Montreal strip club temporarily revoked because they had information that Goodridge controlled the club and they feared the bar would become a target in retaliation for what happened at FlawNego.
