Montreal police (SPVM) received a 911 call at 8:20 p.m. about the incident on 10th Avenue near Louvain Street.
Officers say they have reason to believe the man was killed during a fight.

A security perimeter has been set up to allow investigators and forensic technicians to analyze the scene.
The death is the 23rd homicide on the Montreal police territory.
