GR EXCLUSIVE: “Ice Pick” Turmel Texting From Abroad, Remains General Of BFM War Effort Against The Hells Angels In CAN
September 29, 2024 — As he treks across multiple continents on the run for his life, Blood Family Mafia boss David (Ice Pick) Turmel stills calls shots for his BFM crew in its war against the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club back home in Canada by way of encrypted text messages, according to exclusive GR sourcing on both sides of the law.
Per these sources, “Ice Pick” Turmel, 28, was in contact with a meeting of BFM brass and affiliates in Quebec City from a safehouse somewhere in North Africa earlier this month discussing attacks on their enemies in Eastern Quebec in the hours before a 14-year old BFM associate was caught with an AK-47 rifle and accelerant and allegedly killed inside a Hells Angels MC support club’s clubhouse, set on fire and dumped near another support club’s headquarters. Securing backing from the Sicilian Rizzuto mob in Montreal, Turmel declared war on the Quebec City Hells Angels in March 2023 after consolidating all the street gangs in the region under his banner to oppose the Hells Angels 10-percent drug-sales tax.
Indicted by the Crown that summer, Turmel took off for Europe and has since allegedly made his way to North Africa in his 16 months in the wind. Following a botched kidnapping plot targeting Hells Angels members and their relatives in February, he’s been dodging RCMP and Interpol on the fugitive front and a reported half-million dollar murder contract on his head placed there by Hells Angels MC leadership. Two GR sources within the Canadian ’81’ orbit claim the bounty’s price is now upped to a cool million for Turmel’s life. Other exclusive GR sources reveal Turmel is in constant communication with his boots on the ground in Quebec in the ongoing and increasingly-destabilizing conflict and remains the final say on all BFM affairs despite being thousands of miles away.
The situation ramped up in the last month. And HA Nation across the border is in “all hands on deck” mode.
Over the past three weeks, a string of BFM-led attacks on the Hells Angels in Eastern Quebec combined with a murder of a HA-connected drug dealer for disloyalty, another series of shootings and arsons and the discovery of the teenagers burnt corpse, led to an emergency meeting of HAs in Becancour at the Mean Tribe Motorcycle Club clubhouse convened by Montreal Hells Angels founding father Michel (Sky) Langlois. The Mean Tribe is a HA support club. Langlois arrived at the meeting in his own plane flanked by lieutenants and bodyguards. Representatives from Hells Angels chapters in Trois-Rivieres, Sherbrook and Langlois’s South Shore crew were all in attendance. The Dirty News true-crime blog broke the news of the meeting and Langlois’ role and presence.
Hells Angels associate Andre Bourgoin was killed in a street fight earlier this month after allegedly negotiating an allegiance-switch to BFM, per reporting from the Dirty News last week. That same week, another HA associate, Patrick Laurendeau was shot in Quebec City, behind the wheel of his car at a red light and another alleged HA affiliate was the victim of a drive-by shooting and arson of his business.
OG “Sky” Langlois, 78, is one of the founders of the Hells Angels in Canada, patching over his Popeyes MC in a 1977 ceremony and soon rising to become the Hells Angels second national president of country, eventually creating the Montreal Hells Angels’ South Shore chapter for himself to lead. Back in June, Langlois was apprehended by Canadian authorities in June three Hells Angels MC clubhouses in Monteregie were raided by the SQ and RCMP, as violence tied to the multi-layered feud erupted across the province.
Once business partners in a highly-lucrative slate of rackets, the Rizzutos and Montreal Hells Angels began butting heads at the end of the 2010s. Simmering tensions boiled over into full blown war between the two sides in the winter of 2023. Days after Montreal mafia chief Leonardo (Leo the Lawyer) Rizzuto survived an assassination attempt in a March 15, 2023 highway shooting in the northern suburb of Laval, he cemented a deal with Turmel, who found an explosive device under his SUV that same week and got an introduction to “Leo the Lawyer” through a confidant of his who is a Rizzuto cousin, per sources.
Quebec City Hells Angels affiliate and the chapter’s main debt collector, Michel (Dooney) Guerin was murdered on November 27, 2023, gunned down while shoveling snow outside his home. Turmel’s close friend and lieutenant Patrick (R.I.V.) Martin was slain in February in the middle of a kidnapping and ransom plot gone wrong where Quebec City HA luminary Mario (Bananas) Auger’s nephews had their fingers and toes cut off. Auger, 57, is behind bars facing drug and gangsterism charges from April, allegedly just weeks removed from returning to Canada from Europe where he skippered a hunting battalion in search of the seemingly-and-strangely emboldened Turmel.
