Hamilton Police have arrested two brothers in the murder of an ex-Hell's Angels member.
John, 50, and Mato 'Michael', 47, Josipovic were arrested Monday around 12:30 p.m. Police said in a release that search warrants were executed at the brother's adjacent homes in Grimsby. John was arrested at home and Michael was arrested at his workplace in Milton.
James 'Louis' Malone was shot in the head in the early hours of Nov. 9 in the east end, near Robins Avenue and Cannon Street East. Malone was found on the sidewalk on Kenilworth Avenue North, near Britannia Avenue.
Malone was formerly a member of the local Hell's Angels motorcycle gang. He was known to police. Police believe an interaction or altercation in a local bar may have preceded the shooting.
Both men are expected to be formally charged for first-degree murder in Hamilton court Tuesday morning.
Police investigators continue to look for more information in the case.
Help from citizens
In announcing the arrests, they credit the willingness of people from the area to help with the investigation and of local businesses for provide video footage.
"A number of civic minded citizens have come forward and provided eye-witness accounts about the incident. Local businesses and organizations have also provided hours of surveillance footage which has proved invaluable in the solving of this very public and brazen murder," say police in a press release.
Despite that, investigators say they still want to speak to people who were in the area of Kensington Ave North and Main St East around the time of the shooting.
They are also looking for people who were at Main Billiards, located at 1101 Main Street East, between midnight and 1 a.m. on Saturday November 9th. Police indicate there was an altercation between three males at that location.
Targeted shooting
Police have said previously that the shooting was "targeted." Malone's killers chased him through the neighbourhood, said Hamilton homicide detective Peter Thom, and then sped away in a pickup truck while the 49-year-old lay bleeding on the sidewalk.

Police have been looking for two men who fled the crime scene in a grey Dodge Ram.
In a release last week, investigators outlined how the crime played out through neighbourhood streets.
The first attack came at Robins Ave and Cannon Street. This is where Malone was walking his dogs when first approached by a gunman carrying a shotgun.
The gunman fired at Malone, with the blast hitting the front door of a Robins Avenue home.
Malone ran east on Cannon St, as the gunman chased him and he was followed by a second man driving a grey, Dodge Ram pick-up truck.
The second attack came at the northwest corner of Britannia Ave and Kenilworth, a block east and a block north, where "witnesses reported further shots being fired at Mr. Malone."
The third and fatal scene was outside of 225 Kenilworth Ave North, another block north. Here, he was shot at close range and this is where his body was found. Two store windows in the area were shot out.
The gunmen took off southbound in the truck to Brittannia and drove westbound.
More to come.
