Quebec’s police watchdog is looking for witnesses as it investigates the shooting two weeks ago in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges bureau that left three people dead, including a civilian and a police officer.
The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI) is setting up a command post at the corner of Courtrai Avenue and Décarie Boulevard between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday.

Investigators are asking anyone who witnessed the incident, or who may have information, to come forward.
The BEI is conducting an independent investigation into what Côte-des-Neiges Mayor Stéphanie Valenzuela described as a “nightmare.”
Montreal police officers responded to a call reporting an armed person in front of a hotel on June 22. In an exchange of gunfire, Montreal police officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane and civilian Michel Mizrahi were killed.
