Details Released in Fatal Kahnawake Shooting

The Kahnawà:ke Peacekeepers are investigating a fatal shooting involving a non-local that occurred on the afternoon of January 20, 2026.

The shooting happened just after 2:30PM, behind Robbie’s Smokehouse on Route 138. The victim, 41-year-old Kyle Chad Grabowski, was leaving the restaurant when he was attacked by 2 suspects; sustaining multiple gunshot wounds as the perps fled the scene in a red Honda Civic. That vehicle was later found on fire in Châteauguay, and a firearm was found nearby.

Grabowski has an extensive criminal history, including a violent 2012 bar fight that earned him a 10-year prison sentence. The Journal de Montreal reports that more recently, he was also said to be involved in extortion and debt collecting.

Additionally, Grabowski is believed to have connections to Montreal’s West End Gang and Charalambos Theologou, also known as Bobby the Greek. According to Radio Canada, Theologou was the head of the Chomedey Greeks Gang- that is, until he was gunned down in a Laval parking lot last October.

The Peacekeepers’ investigation is ongoing, with assistance from the Sûreté du Québec (SQ)’s major crimes unit.
