Name of founding Hells Angels member appears on Montreal-area tombstone

A worker in St-Basile-le-Grand engraved Normand Labelle's name and nickname on a new tombstone showing the winged‑skull logo and `Hells Angels South` on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025.
A 2014 Quebec Superior Court decision identifies Normand Labelle as a member of the Montreal chapter of the Hells Angels since 1977 and a founding member of the South Shore chapter in 1997; he was arrested in April 2009 during Operation SharQc, major police investigation.
He faced 29 charges, including first-degree murder and drug trafficking, while a 2014 Quebec Superior Court decision said there was no direct evidence implicating Labelle for murder.
The St-Jean-Longueuil diocese said Tuesday it was "scandalized" and promised to remove the logo and text while the stone remains; Michel Boutot said, `I have no news about what is happening on the ground, except that the diocese's lawyers are working on this case.'
The tombstone's appearance made headlines earlier this week as the report was published Nov. 7, 2025, recalling Operation SharQc that indicted 156 people with ties to the Hells Angels after more than 160 people were killed.
