''Charalambos Theologou, aka "Bobby the Greek," knew his days were numbered, according to a person who claims to know him.
"I heard a few weeks ago, 4-5 weeks ago, that the guy was stressed and then was a little hidden, [...] Because he knew it was planned, that it was dangerous. He knew he was in danger," said a man met by TVA Nouvelles near the crime scene in Laval on Wednesday.''

'According to this person, "Bobby the Greek" was involved in all kinds of crimes, but was particularly known for his involvement in extortion cases.''

The part that bugs me, is that this was done in a crowded public space, a Starbucks for heaven's sake in the morning.
If criminals want to' take out' other criminals, they should do it well away from innocent people, imo.

Maybe he was lured there, for a meeting "in a public place" that would seem safe. (Sounds like a script to a not-so-great movie.)

Wait, what? He was gunned down WHILE under police surveillance? Am I understanding that correctly?

I'm thinking not only was that a brazen hit, it was deliberately done to show LE the gang is in charge. (Just a guess...I don't know!)
