After evading capture for over a decade, Conor D’Monte has pled guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in a plot to kill the notorious Bacon brothers over 15 years ago.
Both D’Monte and the Bacon brothers were at the centre of one of British Columbia’s most violent periods of organized crime between 2008 and 2009.
The United Nations (UN) gang, which included D’Monte, and the Red Scorpions, with Jonathan, Jarrod and Jamie Bacon, engaged in a series of deadly shooting and public gun battles across the Lower Mainland.
According to the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEU-BC), years of coordinated investigation and intelligence-sharing efforts led to 18 arrests and 12 convictions of UN gang members and associates.
D’Monte was one of those charged, both with conspiring to murder the Bacon brothers and the 2009 slaying of Red Scorpion Kevin LeClair, but he fled the country before being arrested.
The CFSEU-BC says he was finally found and arrested in Puerto Rico in 2022 following a “global manhunt.”
On Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025, D’Monte pled guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the plot to kill the three Bacon brothers.
“This outcome powerfully demonstrates that the pursuit of justice has no borders and no expiry,” noted CFSEU-BC assistant commissioner Manny Mann.
“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.”
Jonathan Bacon was murdered in front of the Delta Grand Hotel in Kelowna in August 2011. Jamie is currently serving jail time for his role in the Surrey Six murders.
Jarrod is out of jail after being paroled in August 2020. He was charged after a shooting in northern BC earlier this year, but the charges were dropped.
