Sinaloa Cartel killing of Donald Lyons - 1 year anniversary

Donald Lyons was murdered by Prabtaj Singh Sandher and Gurtaj Singh Sandher exactly one year ago.

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 VP of the Kelowna Hells Angels, was a close friend of 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. There has always been compelling circumstantial evidence in the murder of Donny Lyons. Prabtaj Singh Sandher and Gurtaj Singh Sandher are the killers. Strong circumstantial evidence against them is not enough to convince a judge of their guilt.

Donald Bryce Lyons' story is notable for the fact that those he trusted eliminated him, common for those in his line of work. Gangsters need to fear those closest to them. Lyons trusted the Khalistani Sandhers, and the Sinaloa Cartel. That was a fatal mistake.

Prabtaj Singh Sandher

Prabtaj Singh Sandher and Gurtaj Singh Sandher executed Lyons. Prabtaj Singh Sandher was likely the man who pulled the trigger to make his bones with the Sinaloa Cartel. Donald Lyons was murdered because he was competition in the synthetic drug lab business. Lyons was eliminated by his partners, and orders came from the highest levels.

Edgar Watson

The decision to eliminate Donnie Lyons was arrived at by Sami El-Helou and Edgar Watson. Chapito Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar gave the 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. 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 has been large. His killers have seen 6 labs get busted, and nobody in gangland wants anything more to do with them.

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 2024 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 Oct. The Spallumcheen lab was nailed in Feb 2025.

3 fentanyl labs in the Lower Mainland busted this spring also belonged to the Sandhers.

Chinese chemicals shown are pearlized sodium hydroxide, used in soap making.

A truck registered to Lyons was on the Enderby property. Precursors were acquired by Sami El-Helou and came through DeltaPort via the HAMC's Ricco the Pig Puncher.

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. Half a dozen labs have been shuttered. American intelligence received in January resulted in busts of labs scattered across B.C.

Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar

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.

US imposes sanctions/bounties on Los Chapitos - update

Sanctions imposed by the U.S. will block all property and interests in property and entities owned directly or indirectly by the Guzman brothers. The sanctions follow the Trump administration’s designation of the Sinaloa Cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and Specially Designated Global Terrorist in February. Canada quickly followed suit. Sanctions means ANYBODY handling Los Chapitos drug money could be charged and extradited to face justice in America. One man would make the perfect US rat, and that is Edgar Watson-Olivarra. He flips and he both avoids life at Florence Admax, and becomes a U.S. citizen with $10m to enjoy. Under every scenario the Sandher Crime family's time is running out.

Gurtaj Singh Sandher

The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on the two fugitive sons of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. They also announced a reward of up to $10 million each for information leading to the capture of Guzman's sons, Archivaldo Ivan Guzman Salazar and Jesus Alfred Guzman Salazar. Sandher crime family boss Edgar Watson-Olivarra answers directly to Archivaldo Ivan Guzman Salazar. Sanctions were also imposed on the group commonly called Chapitos, a faction of the Sinaloa cartel identified as a main exporter of fentanyl to the US.

"At the Department of the Treasury, we are executing on President Trump's mandate to completely eliminate drug cartels and take on violent leaders like `El Chapo's' children," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

Edgar Watson-Olivarra. El Chapo resides at Florence Admax. That is where high profile Chapito henchman Edgar Watson will go.

Mexican security analysts say that rewards and protecting witnesses is an effective tool employed by the U.S. One of the most lucrative businesses of the Sinaloa Cartel in recent years has been the production of fentanyl. That business has killed a vast number of people from overdose.

Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa = dead man walking - update IX

There has STILL been no whisper about Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. His file (257168) was sealed April 30 and there has always been a publication ban. Time MUST running out for the scum behind the largest illicit lab ever found in Canada, the Sandher Crime family. We guess the news will hit this month.

Randhawa had another bail hearing scheduled for March 28, 2025, his 5th. Its likely the matter was removed from the list because he did not appear. If that happened it suggests a deal has been struck putting Randhawa into witness protection. High profile fentanyl busts could occur at any time. Gurtaj Singh Sandher has many reasons to worry. Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa must have realized that ratting everyone out is his only way of staying alive.

Randhawa is the only man charged in the Falkland lab bust, the largest drug lab in Canadian history. Randhawa is in serious jeopardy, and if released he is a large hit target. Randhawa must be silenced. There is no way the Sinaloa Cartel and Edgar Watson could allow Randhawa to bust upper management. See ----->Falkland Lab Bust

Edgar Watson - Sinaloa Cartel

Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa, 32, is from Jalandhar in Punjab. He faces 7 charges including drugs, weapons and explosives. Randhawa is a Jatt clan found in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan.

Kabal Randhawa

The Randhawa brothers in Vernon are connected to the Sandhers. Palwinder Randhawa (palwinder1980@hotmail.com) and Kabal Randhawa touted Sandher in the press on Sept 9, 2024. They are orchardists at 7467 Baker Hogg Road in Vernon. "The closure of BC Tree Fruits was scary for our family farm. Growing fruit these days is challenging and losing our packing and distribution partner made things even harder," said Kabal Randhawa of Randhawa orchards. "The kindness shown by Sandher Fruit Packers has given me hope that we can get through this." The Randhawas last produced a miniscule 400 bins with BCTF. That is less than 5 acres.The Randhawas collected $13,898 from taxpayers to 'provide a youth with some work experience ...' Here

The haul of drugs from the Falkland superlab was destined for Australia and New Zealand. Australia is one of the most lucrative markets in the world for meth. Prices can reach $185k per kilo.

The B.C. director of civil forfeiture filed a forfeiture claim January 31, 2025 against the property at 5011 Hoath Road in Falkland, and equipment including a mass spectrometer, a gas chromatograph, an industrial power generator, a trailer and a flat deck. The Sandhers leased the ground from Michael Driehuyzen. Sandher lawyer Bert Tonsoo (rtonsoo@bensonlawllp.com) drafted the lease agreement.

Named in the claim are Michael Driehuyzen and Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. Driehuyzen had nothing to say, and told Global News to contact his lawyer. Criminal defence lawyer Joel Whysall isn't talking either. He does say Driehuyzen's Charter rights were violated. joel@mwcrimlaw.com In 2015 and 2016 cops busted pot grow ops at the property.

Edgar Watson – Canada’s Sinaloa Cartel - update VIII

“Let me be direct, to the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, you are no longer the hunters, you are the hunted. You will be betrayed by your friends, you will be hounded by your enemies, and you will ultimately find yourself and your face here in a courtroom in the Southern District of California.”

An unfettered flow of information WILL sink major players of the Sinaloa Cartel like Edgar Watson, Sami El-Helou and Gurtaj Singh Sandher. When Edgar Watson and Sami El-Helou get indicted, the Feds will be coming for Gurtaj Singh Sandher. They are tied to the cartel sponsored Dubai hit of Çetin Koç in 2016. Here. Edgar Watson is seeking permanent residency in Canada, sponsored by his mother, Canadian permanent resident the Black Witch. The Black Witch works full-time for the Sinaloa Cartel and has for years. She resides in the Lower Mainland. Ovidio Guzmán López, 34, and Joaquin Guzmán López, 38, are cooperating with the US to avoid life sentences at Florence Admax. Joaquín Guzmán López forced Ismael Zambada García onto a plane bound for the US in July 2024. Ovidio Guzmán López will plead guilty in July to sprawling federal drug charges. They have flipped. These are serious storm clouds for the Sandhers, Edgar Watson-Olivarra, and the recently troubled Sami El-Helou.

Chapito Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar is widely recognized as the current leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. Top level Sinaloa cartel operative Edgar Watson-Olivarra is a key member of the Sandher drug operation and answers only to Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar. Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar was nearly captured on the night of Feb 19, 2025, the same operation that nailed 'El Güerito' and 'El 200'. Guzmán escaped through a tunnel and was injured. Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar is living in fear due to U.S. heat. Guzmán "no longer sleeps" and is "betraying those closest to him, thinking they will betray him."

Kevin Alonso Gil Acosta 'El 200' handled security.

The Mexican government's offensive against his Sinaloa Cartel resulted in the arrest of two key henchmen. Canobbio Inzunza 'El Güerito' led fentanyl trafficking. El Güerito was arrested in the city of Culiacán. He was the right hand of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar.

The U.S. designated the Sinaloa Cartel a terrorist organization. Canada designated the Sinaloa Cartel a terrorist organization February 20. Anybody doing business with Edgar Watson and Sami El-Helou stands to be extradited to America.

Bir Singh Sandher

Sinaloa Cartel thugs are being extradited. Former leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel in Juárez was extradited to El Paso from Mexico. Daniel Franco Lopez, 40, 'Neon' was one of the leaders of the Gente Nueva, in Chihuahua. Top Sinaloa cartel operative Edgar Watson-Olivarra met with the Sandher crime family again the week of August 21, 2024 in Kelowna. The thug is senior management and directly responsible for Sinaloa Cartel operations and multiple drug labs in B.C. When disputes arise, it is Edgar Watson who resolves them, often using murder.

Edgar Watson is a former Mexican Marine. He learned combat helicopter flying with the Marines. Watson tipped off drug raids for bribes that often exceeded a year’s salary. Watson soon worked for the Sinaloa Cartel full-time. As well as being a cartel pilot, Edgar Watson was also an enforcer/sicario. He protected cartel bosses and their lieutenants from enemies. His loyalty to the cartel paid off. He was brought into Canada to manage Sinaloa affairs. Watson oversees much of Canada. When he sets foot in Canada he is the most senior Sinaloa gangster in the country.

Edgar Watson

Sandher helicopter pilots were Sinaloa Cartel operatives, brought to work as drug runners for the Sandhers under the Agricultural Stream Program. Edgar Watson was nearly busted with the Sandher brothers in 2018 in 'Operation Valley Cloak'. The Sandhers have abused visa entry programs to import Sinaola Cartel gangsters into Canada for years.

The other Sinaloa Cartel pilot was Roman Figueroa Ramirez.

Sami El-Helou

Key financial intermediary is Moscow based Sami El-Helou. Gurtaj Sandher and Edgar Watson are closely linked to Sami El-Helou. The trio are tied to Sinaloa Cartel drug business at the highest levels in Canada.
