MONTREAL — Montreal police say two more people have been arrested in the brazen daytime killing of a 39-year-old woman in front of her beauty salon in May 2023.

Claudia Iacono, 39, was the daughter-in-law of the late Moreno Gallo, a reputed mob boss who was killed in 2013 in Acapulco, Mexico, after being deported from Canada. Iacono was married to one of his sons.

Kalial Nesfield, 28, was charged today with first-degree murder while Shaniqwa Parris, 31, was charged with manslaughter in connection with the killing of Iacono.

Both will return to court at a later date, police said.

Police arrived at a parking lot outside the salon Iacono owned in Montreal’s Cote-des-Neiges district on May 16, 2023, to find the victim in a vehicle that had collided with a building and was still running. She had been shot dead, police said.
