The 67's are a Haitian-based street gang formed in the Saint-Michel district of Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the late 80s. Named after a bus route along Montreal's Saint-Michel area, this gang was co-founded by reputed gangster Ducarme Joseph, who led a group of local toughs who would later claim allegiance to the Crips gang by the mid 90s. Believed to be clicked up with other gangs representing the blues (or Crips) such as the Crack Down Posse, the 67's is said to be one of the major factions of the Crips in Montreal. They deal with street level trafficking and juvennile prostitution. They are traditional enemies of the Bo-Gars, but have recently been involved in a war with Montreal's powerful Italian Mafia family.

According to former Bloc Québécois MP and noted gang expert Maria Mourani, Ducarme Joseph’s death on Friday in a hail of bullets in St-Michel was likely carefully planned. The killer or killers showed up “on [Joseph’s] territory, almost in his private sphere” to kill him in a “flamboyant” manner, Mourani explained, which is a clear signal that nowhere is safe — even for the most feared of kingpins.
