A suspect has been arrested after a violent incident that left a man in his 30s dead and a woman in her 20s injured in Quebec City on Monday night.

Emergency services were called to a home on Eugène-Lamontagne Avenue in the Limoilou area at 12:55 a.m. Tuesday.

On arrival, Quebec City police (SPVQ) found the two injured victims. They were rushed to hospital.

The man was later confirmed dead, and police are now investigating the incident as a murder.

The woman's life is not considered to be in danger.

Shortly after, officers arrested a suspect, a man in his 30s, who was also at the scene.
