Laval police spokesperson Franco Di Genova confirmed the victim was known to authorities but not for “anything major.”
Di Genova said it is not the first time there has been trouble at the club.
“We’re there regularly for all kinds of reasons,” he said.
On average, there are three to four homicides a year on Laval police territory, according to Di Genova.
Laval police asks that anybody who sees this man to call 911, he is considered armed and dangerous.
