Police are investigating the city’s 36th homicide of the year after a man was killed Tuesday afternoon in Montreal’s Saint-Laurent borough.
A 911 call at around 1 p.m. alerted police to the presence of an injured man on Bégin Street, not far from Côte-Vertu Boulevard.
When officers arrived at the scene, they located a bloodied man believed to be in his 40s with injuries to the upper body.
Montreal police spokesperson Raphaël Bergeron said the injuries were possibly caused by a sharp or blunt object.
The man was declared dead at the scene.
Bergeron said it is believed a conflict broke out between the victim and another person and it escalated.
A security perimetre was established, with officers searching nearby businesses for a suspect. It was determined the individual fled the scene on foot, heading east on Bégin Street towards Côte-Vertu Boulevard.
No arrests have been made.
The SPVM’s major crimes unit has taken over the investigation.
