Man, 46, fatally shot at busy Montreal corner; many witnesses, few details yet

A 46-year-old man has become Montreal's seventh homicide victim of 2022 after being shot just before 11 p.m. Saturday night at the corner of St. Laurent Blvd. and Jean-Talon St.

The shooting happened at the corner of St. Laurent Blvd. and Jean-Talon St. at 10:55 p.m., said a police spokesperson.

The man's death was confirmed later by doctors after he was taken to hospital.

There were "several witnesses" at the scene, at a corner that usually sees fairly heavy traffic, and many different 911 calls came in. But police are still piecing together what happened, the spokesperson told CTV News.

"We don't know the link between the victim and the suspect," she said. "Was there a conflict? We don't know."
