I n the late afternoon of March 14 in the Toronto suburb of Woodbridge , a masked gunman jumped out of the passenger side of a black Jeep Cherokee , darted across a snow- dusted parking lot and unleashed a flurry of bullets into a black BMW. Thirty seconds later, he was back in the car, leaving Saverio Serrano – the son of a notorious Canadian Mafia figure and cocaine importer – wounded, and Mr. Serrano's 28-year-old girlfriend dead.
