An 18-year-old man has died after being shot at a party in the Town of Mount Royal (TMR).

Montreal police (SPVM) received several 911 calls at 1:45 a.m. Friday about a person suffering from gunshot wounds in a home on Trenton Avenue, near Aberdare Road.

Upon arrival, police say they found the young man "unconscious with more than one gunshot wound to the upper body."

"At least one suspect would have approached the young man, while he was still inside the home where the party was taking place, and shot him a few times," said Montreal police spokesperson Manuel Couture.

The victim was transported to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police say they do not know the motive behind the killing.

Investigators, forensic technicians and the canine unit are working to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the incident.

His death is considered Montreal's 36th homicide of 2021.
