The Nova Scotia native who was once the kingpin of a Vancouver crack
cocaine ring has been murdered.
Earl Stephen Seymour was shot dead in his minivan Friday night in
downtown Vancouver. The 40-year-old known Hells Angels associate had
been living in the city for several years, but before that he resided
in Bible Hill. He was originally from Glace Bay.
Mr. Seymour had an extensive criminal history that included ordering
the firebombing of the home of a Cape Breton police officer’s
grandmother.
Investigators believe Mr. Seymour’s murder was a targeted shooting.
"A woman was holding the body and crying and screaming, ‘No, this
can’t be happening,’ " photographer Lilith Yakub, who arrived at the
scene minutes after the shooting, told the Vancouver Sun.
For five years starting in the late 1990s, Mr. Seymour ran a gang that
sold crack on Vancouver’s east side. The operation intimidated rivals
with gunfire and beatings. It made $10,000 to $20,000 a day.
Drugs were also bused to dealers in Cape Breton.
In September 2001, Mr. Seymour pleaded guilty to cocaine trafficking
and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.
A B.C. judge imposed a sentence of six years and four months for
cocaine trafficking. The judge also handed Mr. Seymour a concurrent
one-year term for the marijuana charge.
His gang’s main source of income was about $300,000 a month from crack
cocaine.
"This drug trafficking operation was like a business, with Mr. Seymour
being one of the principal movers behind the operation," the
prosecutor told the court.
The judge also sentenced Mr. Seymour, then 34, to a concurrent
three-year term for firebombing the home of the 90-year-old
grandmother of a Cape Breton Regional Police officer on May 21, 2000.
According to a statement of facts filed in the case, Mr. Seymour was
angry after police raided his Nova Scotia home on May 18, 2000, with
guns drawn. The officers forced some of his family members to lie on
the floor.
In retaliation, Mr. Seymour directed two men to lob two Molotov
cocktails through the window of the Glace Bay home of Audrey and
Norris Dowe. One of the bottles ignited and Mr. Dowe burned his feet
trying to put out the fire. Mrs. Dowe — the grandmother of Const.
Kevin Dowe, an undercover drug officer who was involved in the search
of the Seymour residence — was sleeping in the next room, which also
contained an oxygen tank.
As part of a plea agreement, Mr. Seymour agreed to forfeit to the
Crown $740,000 worth of assets purchased with the proceeds of crime,
including the family home at 88 Hidden Valley Dr. in Colchester
County, two 1999 Harley-Davidson motorcycles, a 1999 Corvette, a 1997
all-terrain vehicle, two new snowmobiles, a new travel trailer and
$269,875 in Canadian cash seized by police.
At his trial, Mr. Seymour’s lawyer, Glen Orris, reportedly told the
court his client was one of 11 children who grew up in a Nova Scotia
home where the father abandoned them when Mr. Seymour was five.
His mother drank heavily, forcing the older sisters to raise the
younger siblings, the lawyer added.
Mr. Seymour dropped out of school at 15, worked odd jobs, began
drinking, then took to selling drugs to supplement his income.
The defence lawyer added that Mr. Seymour, who, when he was sentenced,
had four children under the age of six with his common-law wife, felt
shame for causing his family a similar fate as his own fatherless
childhood. He planned to get an honest job when he got out of prison,
Mr. Orris said at the sentencing hearing.
The Vancouver crack cocaine operation was run by Mr. Seymour, his
brother Cliff Seymour and two cousins, Ken and Don Seymour. All of the
men came from Nova Scotia.
On Dec. 30, 2005, a gunman shot two of Mr. Seymour’s cousins in a
rundown Glace Bay neighbourhood known as the Hub.
Kenneth Bradley Seymour, 39, died hours later in hospital.
His brother, Donald Wilfred Seymour, 38, was seriously injured; his
liver and other organs were damaged.
They had both done six years behind bars for being part of the West
Coast cocaine operation.
They were shot over a drug debt by a fellow associate of the Hells
Angels.
Nelson MacPhee of Dominion pleaded guilty to manslaughter and
aggravated assault. Last April, a judge sentenced him to 15 years in
prison.

Police discovered the crack ring while investigating the beating death
of Michael Bath, 29, whose body was found in 1999 near Squamish.
Kenneth and Donald Seymour were charged with Bath's first-degree
murder in April 2000, but the charges were stayed.
Earl Seymour was shot Friday around 6:30 p.m. not far from Victory
Square, where his family allegedly dealt cocaine.
n(sic) A 25-year-old man was shot in the leg in the 6300-block Crown
Street Saturday night.
The shooting took place outside a mixed martial-arts event at the
Musqueam Gymnasium, where the victim was a competitor.
A Vancouver police spokesman said the man was fired on by a group of
men who appeared not to have any association with the event.
They fled in a vehicle and remain at large. chc...@png.canwest.com

Seymour brothers to be HA associates. Rather violent company. This
gets even more bizarre:
Glace Bay man to enter pleas next month ?
Cousin killed in targeted hit in Vancouver, Friday
STEVE MACINNIS
The Cape Breton Post
SYDNEY — A 39-year-old Glace Bay man, whose cousin was murdered on the
weekend in Vancouver in a targeted hit, is scheduled back in
provincial court March 3 to enter pleas on drug and tobacco charges.
Donald Wilfred Seymour of East Street, is charged with possession of
cocaine for the purpose of trafficking; possession of marijuana;
possession of illegally manufactured cigarettes and possession of
cigarettes without the proper excise markings.
Seymour continues to use a cane to assist with his mobility after he
was shot in 2005 inside his home. His brother, Kenneth, died in the
same shooting incident. Another man, Nelson MacPhee, was given a
17-year-sentence for the murder.
Last Friday, Seymour’s cousin, Earl Stephen Seymour, was gunned down
in Vancouver in what police described as a target killing. Stephen
Seymour had been convicted in 2000 for his role in the fire bombing of
a home belonging to the 90-year-old grandmother of a Cape Breton
Regional Police officer.
The shooting of Earl Stephen Seymour occurred in an area of Vancouver
not far from where he and his gang once ran a highly profitable crack
cocaine trafficking ring.
Stephen Seymour received a sentence of six years in 2001 after
pleading guilty to trafficking in cocaine and possession of marijuana
for the purpose of trafficking.
He also forfeited some $740,000 worth of assets deemed by police to
have been purchased with the profits of his illegal activity.
Donald Seymour remains free on conditions after posting a $3,500
surety and agreeing to a host of conditions including he not associate
with anyone with a criminal record and that he abide by a curfew.

VANCOUVER - Matthew Ryan Wall, 24, has been charged with the
first-degree murder of drug dealer Earl Stephen Seymour, 40, who was
gunned down as he sat in his minivan last Friday evening in the 300
block of Carrall Street in downtown Vancouver.
Vancouver police detectives said they arrested Wall in a downtown
rooming house hours after the shooting.
Police said Wall was known to them as a street-level drug dealer. His
shooting was Vancouver's sixth homicide of the year.
(You call this reporting? Wall wasn’t the one shot it was Seymour)

Various news orgs have stated the Seymour’s were HA associates and
there is a gang war going on. So why is no local news outlet
mentioning that? Are they that afraid of HAMC that they can’t cover a
routine hit in a gang war? One local TV station speculated it was a
love triangle gone bad but didn’t mention the extensive criminal
history of the victim or his documented ties to HAMC. The media in
Vancouver should do a better job of crime coverage especially during a
gang war.
HA
is involved with
extortion, homicide, kidnapping, prostitution, meth and cocaine
dealing, rape, armed robbery and motorcycle theft and child
pornography
as well as phony currency and witness intimidation and obstruction of
justice. They have been known to bribe and scare law enforcement
officers and judges into doing their bidding. These ppl must be
rooted
out of the Cdn justice system. Two judges have actually done their
job
and declared HAMC a criminal org and the Victoria Times-Colonist is
calling for it to be banned as a terrorist org.
"The Hells Angels should be treated as a domestic terror organization.
We should encourage those who make and enforce our laws in their
efforts to eradicate them."

The White Rock chapter Sgt.Of Arms, Villy Roy Lynnerup, recently was
arrested for trying to board an airplane at YVR
with a loaded firearm. Was probably going to crash the plane into the
Downtown courthouse or hold the passengers hostage in exchange for
the
release of Moms Boucher and all imprisoned full patch members. All
the
Hell's Angels, their supporters, associates etc. should be imprisoned
for twenty years
their children put in foster care and their assets seized.
Ppl are trying to get HAMC listed as a terrorist org. If you support
this
then write letters to editors of local newspapers and your local MP.
As well John Les the solicitor-general of BC has advocated banning
the wearing of gang colours such as biker patches in bars. Since HA
is
known to frequent Brandi’s and the Cecil and has links to
various bars in BC that would be an improvement. The gang has a
history of intimidating
bartenders, infiltrating unions involved in the bar industry, beating
and killing strippers and beating customers to death at random for no
reason. Contact your MLA as well as the local media and tell them you
want this implemented sooner rather than later.
VPD is appealing again for info about the homicide of Maria Yvette
Monzon who was shot dead on the westside of Vancouver. She was killed
by HA but the police have never stated that. There is a reward.
Colleen Reiter (Ryder?) of Surrey was killed by HAMC but the RCMP
refuse to confirm this.
