A few hours later, at 2 a.m., police were called to Montreal West, where a third shooting occurred.
Police say the driver of a car was hit by several gunshots from an unknown location near Ronald and Avon streets.
Upon arrival at the scene, officers located the driver, an 18-year-old man, who was declared dead onsite.
The passenger, 17, was transported to hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
"A third person fled the vehicle on foot," said Allaire Morin. "A possible suspect was arrested near the site. They will be met by investigators."
Security perimeters have been set up at the scenes of all three shootings to allow investigators, the canine unit and forensic technicians to canvass the areas.
