Const. Jeanne Drouin, a Montreal spokeswoman, says the major crimes unit is investigating the death, which stems from a home invasion.
A 911 call was made around 1 a.m. on Friday regarding a person shot in an apartment in the Mercier—Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough.
Police say preliminary information suggests suspects entered the apartment and an altercation ensued with the occupants and following gunshots, the other suspects fled the scene.
The two occupants of the apartment were a 39-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man, with the woman sustaining a minor hand injury.
