Police are investigating a shooting in Montreal’s Anjou borough Sunday night that left an 18-year-old dead.
Montreal police spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils said it happened at 10 p.m.
Police were called to the intersection of Hérisson and Thérèse-Casgrain avenues to reports of a man who had been shot.
Officers discovered the man unconscious on the sidewalk.
Chèvrefils said he had upper-body injuries caused by a gunshot.
He was rushed to hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
Police said it appears the man was shot from a vehicle while he was on the sidewalk. The suspect or suspects fled the scene before police arrived.
A crime scene perimeter established on Sunday remained in place on Monday.
Chèvrefils said a canine unit was assisting in the search for clues.
No arrests have been made in what police say is the sixth homicide of 2023 in Montreal.
