A man in his late 50s is dead after a shooting in Mirabel Wednesday morning that is linked to organized crime.

He has been identified as Pierre Michaud, a man who is known to police.

Police say the Michaud was sitting in a car parked outside a repair and discount merchandise company when a man came up and shot him several times.

The gunman fled the scene on a bicycle.

“When police arrived he was in critical condition and he was transported to hospital where unfortunately he died,” said SQ spokesperson Melanie Dumaresq.

Police spent the morning canvassing the area around 17599 Victor St. and questioning the many witnesses who saw and heard the murder.
