Overnight crimes involving gunfire, assault leave 19-year-old dead, another injured, and two arrested in Montreal
A young man has died in a Montreal hospital after arriving with bullet wounds early Saturday morning.
Police were notified at 4:30 a.m. that the 19-year-old had sought hospital care, though details of how he was injured remain unclear.
The man succumbed to his injuries shortly after he arrived.
At 4:15 a.m., officers received several calls reporting gunfire on de Sève Street, near Drake Street, in the Southwest borough.
Police arrived on the scene shortly after and found bullet casings on the ground at around 4:30 a.m.
A media relations officer said police are not prepared to confirm whether the 19-year-old was involved in that incident.
No victims nor suspects were located.
It was just one episode in a particularly violent night in Montreal.
