Montreal police are investigating the death of a 20-year-old man in the city’s Saint-Léonard borough on Thursday afternoon.
Montreal police spokesperson Sabrina Gauthier said a 911 call at 2:20 p.m., reported an unconscious man inside a vehicle on de Fontanelle street, near Jean-Talon Street.
Firefighters, who were the first to arrive on the scene, quickly attended to the victim.
He was pronounced dead after the arrival of police and paramedics.
Gauthier said the victim was hit with at least “one projectile,” but that an investigation will determine the cause of death and the weapon used.
A perimeter was set up and a canine unit, as well as investigators with the major crimes unit, were deployed to the scene.
