Conor D’Monte Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy to Commit Murder
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC) and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) are announcing that Conor Vincent D’Monte, a member of the United Nations (UN) gang, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder as part of a plot to kill Jonathan, Jarrod, and Jamie Bacon of the rival Red Scorpions gang.
Between 2008 and 2009, British Columbia endured one of its most violent periods of organized crime conflict as the Red Scorpions and United Nations (UN) gang engaged in a series of deadly shootings and public gun battles that endangered communities across the Lower Mainland.
Through years of coordinated investigation and intelligence-sharing efforts, CFSEU-BC and IHIT worked in close collaboration, leading to 18 arrests and 12 convictions of UN gang members and associates. Among those charged was Conor D’Monte, who was accused of conspiring to murder the three Bacon brothers as part of a violent gang conflict that claimed numerous lives across the region.
Despite extensive investigative efforts, D’Monte managed to evade capture for over a decade. In 2022, he was located and arrested in Puerto Rico following a global manhunt supported by CFSEU-BC, IHIT, BOLO, and Crime Stoppers. He has remained in custody since his extradition to Canada.

On October 21, 2025, D’Monte entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the plot to kill the Bacon brothers – marking a pivotal moment in a case that has spanned more than 15 years.
“This outcome powerfully demonstrates that the pursuit of justice has no borders and no expiry” said Assistant Commissioner Manny Mann, CFSEU-BC Chief Officer. “CFSEU-BC, IHIT, and our law-enforcement partners across Canada and internationally relentlessly pursued Conor D’Monte to ensure accountability for his role in this violent act”.
“This conviction highlights the strength of our partnerships and the dedication of officers who never stopped working on this complex high-risk file” said Inspector Dave DeRusha, Acting/Officer-in-Charge of IHIT.
The conviction represents the culmination of years of collaboration among provincial, national, and international partners, underscoring law enforcement’s ongoing commitment to combatting organized crime and protecting communities across British Columbia.
