The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) are seeking information from the public in connection with the 2016 fatal shooting of an alleged high-ranking member of the Montreal Mafia.
Quebec provincial police have set up a command post north of Montreal as they search for tips related to the death of Rocco Sollecito.
Sollecito was killed while driving, in a brazen daylight shooting in Laval on May 26, 2016. Laval police were called about gunshots on St-Elzéar Boulevard and his death was confirmed at the scene.
