Montreal police have arrested a suspect in connection with the death of a man in LaSalle earlier this month.
Akong Yves Fonbah appeared Friday in court, where he was charged with first-degree murder, according to police. He was arrested the previous day.
“The investigation is continuing to identify other suspects who may also be involved,” the force said in a statement.
The arrest comes nearly two weeks after suspects broke into a 75-year-old’s home on Sept. 12. Police say the victim was assaulted and died of his injuries.
