Laval police are hoping tips from the public will help push forward their investigation into the shooting death of a 17-year-old on July 30.
Police say they responded to the crime scene after a 911 call reporting someone injured in the schoolyard of Les Explorateurs, an elementary school near the intersection of Des Laurentides and St-Elzéar boulevards.
When police arrived at the corner of Bédard Street and Saint-Elzéar Boulevard East, they found the teenage victim dead on the ground. They also found a second injured person, who was taken to hospital.

Police have released very few details in connection with the case but say a group of young people were in the schoolyard when a second group arrived.
In a press release, police said it was someone from the second group who shot in the direction of the victims.
The major crimes unit is setting up a command post at 16 St-Elzéar Blvd. E. in Laval’s Vimont neighbourhood from 3 p.m. Wednesday to 1 a.m. Thursday.
Anyone with information is being invited to visit the command post to speak with an investigator or to call the anonymous tip line at 450-662-INFO (4636).
