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.
No charges have been laid, but he is scheduled to meet with investigators later on in the day on Tuesday.
