Montreal police are investigating the shooting Thursday night at a beauty salon where the daughter-in-law of a former mafia leader was killed last year.

According to police, a 911 call was made around 7:25 p.m. about shots fired in the salon near the intersection of Jean-Talon W. and de la Savane Sts. in Côte-des-Neiges.

The salon was open at the time, but no one was injured, police said.

“Officers found at least one grenade on the ground and at least one bullet hole inside the building,” said police spokeswoman Sabrina Gauthier, who added that investigators will check security cameras.

Claudia Iacono, 39, was shot dead in broad daylight in the salon’s parking lot last May.

Iacono was the daughter-in-law of Moreno Gallo, an influential figure on the Calabrian side of the Montreal mafia before he was murdered in Mexico a decade ago.

Two suspects from Ontario — Joel Richard Clarke and Tyranne Andre Greenidge — have now been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Iacono’s killing.
