The Sûreté du Québec’s is investigating a brazen shooting Wednesday afternoon on a highway in Laval that sent a man in his 50s to hospital.
Police would not confirm who was shot, but La Presse is reporting the victim is Leonardo Rizzuto — youngest son to late mafia boss, Vito Rizzuto.
SQ spokesperson Stéphane Tremblay said it happened at around 4:40 p.m. on Highway 440 near Highway 13.
“A vehicle was targeted by gunshots,” Tremblay said in French. “One person was injured but we do not fear for their life.”
