Police are investigating a suspicious death in Montreal's Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough that could be a fatal shooting.
Montreal police (SPVM) say they received a call around 3 a.m. Wednesday, reporting that a man was found unconscious in a business parking lot.
The victim, a 28-year-old man, was pronounced dead when police and Urgences-Santé paramedics arrived.
Police say he had suffered an upper body injury that might have been caused by a firearm. No suspects have been identified. The SPVM's major crime unit has been assgined to the case.
Police have set up a security perimeter around the site where the body was found, on Boulevard Henri-Bourassa West, near the intersection of Bois-de-Boulogne Avenue, in the Nouveau-Bordeaux neighbourhood.
The death took place a little less than 12 hours after the killing of a 39-year-old woman in a parking lot on Jean-Talon Street West, near the intersection with de la Savane Street, in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges district.
Police have yet to make any arrests.
The SPVM says it has not yet found a link between the deaths, the eighth and ninth to happen on the island of Montreal since the beginning of 2023.
