MONTREAL – Police have arrested two suspects after a 36-year-old taxi driver was shot in Saint-Leonard early Thursday morning.
“The two men, aged 25 and 26, are in for questioning,” confirmed Abdullah Emran with Montreal police.
“We are waiting to see if there will be charges laid.”
Around 2:15 a.m. Thursday, officers responded to a call that was placed about possible gunshots.
When they arrived on the scene, they found a man suffering from wounds to his upper body.
He was sitting behind the wheel of his Co-Op taxi.
The victim was rushed to hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
It’s Montreal’s first murder of 2016.
“We were canvassing door-to-door and investigators were working hard,” said Emran.
The interrogation of the suspects is ongoing.
