Ex-Fugitive Conor D’Monte Gets 15 Years for Plot to Kill Bacon Brothers

The ruling closes a long pursuit tied to a violent B.C. gang feud.

Overview

  • Conor D’Monte, who was sentenced Wednesday, received 15 years in prison with credit that leaves him with less than eight years to serve.
  • D’Monte pleaded guilty to conspiring to kill the Bacon brothers and, according to agreed facts, he tracked them, passed along licence plates, and supplied encrypted BlackBerry phones to the UN Gang.
  • A related murder charge in the 2009 killing of rival Kevin Leclair in Langley was stayed after the sentencing.
  • After fleeing Canada in 2011, he lived in Puerto Rico under a false name and was arrested there in February 2022 before extradition to B.C. in March 2024.
  • In court, he apologized and said he was not a gang member but a facilitator, while the judge underscored the gang war’s lasting harm to the community.
