Sinaloa Cartel killing of Donald Lyons - 9 months on

There may have been a significant break in the Donny Lyons murder. There has always been compelling circumstantial evidence, but rumor says there may be more than that today. If true, Prabtaj Singh Sandher and Gurtaj Singh Sandher best have their affairs in order.

On June 15, 2024 Donald Bryce Lyons, 51, was gunned down in his Princeton driveway. Donny Lyons was no choirboy. He was a major gangster, one of the founders of the Independent Soldiers. Lyons spent his entire adult life doing crimes. Lester Jones, the out bad thief vice-president of the Kelowna Hells Angels, was close friends with Lyons. When Lyons was murdered he was a major player in the production of synthetic drugs including fentanyl. Lyons was shot down like a dog by his partners, and that was a fate he likely deserved.

Prabtaj Singh Sandher
Donald Bryce Lyons' story is notable for the fact that those he trusted eliminated him, a common theme for those in his line of work. Gangsters always need to fear those closest to them. Lyons trusted the Khalistani Sandhers, and by extension their Sinaloa Cartel. That was his fatal mistake. Sandher greed is limitless.
The RCMP's prime suspects are Prabtaj Singh Sandher and Gurtaj Singh Sandher. Prabtaj Singh Sandher was likely the man who pulled the trigger to make his bones with the Sinaloa Cartel. The hit was ordered by Sinaloa Cartel boss Edgar Watson. Its said cops have a strong circumstantial case against the killers. That alone is not enough to convince a judge of their guilt.
Edgar Watson
Donald Lyons was murdered because he was competition in the synthetic drug lab business. He was eliminated by his partners the Sinaloa Cartel. Orders to kill Lyons came from the highest levels. The decision to eliminate Donnie Lyons came from Sami El-Helou and Edgar Watson. The hit was approved by Chapito Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar, who gave final nod of approval. Gurtaj Sandher and Prabtaj Sandher were the hitmen. Unless the Sandhers are charged with the murder of Donnie Lyons, nobody will be. They killed Donald Lyons and the street knows it. The decision to whack Donnie Lyons was an extremely bad one. Murdering your partners may be fine in Sinaloa Mexico but its frowned upon in Canada.
Lyons was well connected and revenge on the killers through rats was large. His killers have seen multiple labs get busted since his mid-June murder, and nobody in gangland wants anything more to do with them. Gangsters are reluctant to become the next partners and existing gangsters wonder if they are next. The Sandhers, Donny Lyons and to a lesser degree Dale Habib were in partnership in the synthetic drug business and that business was booming.
The huge load of meth precursors found in Enderby and lassoed by cops belonged to them. RCMP raided a rural property in September and seized over 30,000 kg of precursor chemicals. The precursors fed multiple labs, including the Falkland lab, which was busted in October.

The Langley fentanyl lab was also busted in October.The Spallumcheen lab was nailed in Feb.

Chinese chemicals shown are pearlized sodium hydroxide, used in soap making.
A truck registered to Lyons was on the Enderby property. Precursors were purchased by Sami El-Helou and came through DeltaPort via Ricco the Pig Puncher and the HAMC.

Sami El-Helou's Brightway is the conduit for precursors.
P2P meth is manufactured with phenyl-2-propanone (phenylacetone). Purity is above 90% and it is cheap to produce. This was the first time it was found in Western Canada. Other reagents in meth production include hypophosphorous acid, iodine, sulfuric acid and red and white phosphorus. For every kilo of meth, 5 to 7 kilos of toxic waste is produced. For every kilo of fentanyl, up to 15 kilos of toxic waste is produced.
Donny Lyons must be laughing in the afterlife. For all of the dark plots of the Sinaloa Cartel, his murder was the beginning of the end for their operation. The Sandher/Sinaloa Cartel $11m lab on Black Mountain is a non-starter given the attention now on it. American intelligence received in January will result in elimination of their other labs scattered across the Okanagan.

Donny Lyons, HA Larry Amero and Sukhvir Deo. Lyons survived over 25 years in gangland. He had a very long history with police.
Lyons was a member of the defunct HAMC puppet club The Kingpins run by Dale Habib. The Sandhers were also involved with the Habibs and have close ties with them to this day.
