Police say they are not cooperating with investigators. “We have a good idea what may have happened, but for the moment the investigation is continuing,” said SPVR spokesman Bruno Marier.
No further details about the shooting were released, so as not to interfere with the investigators’ work.
The police were alerted at 5:17 p.m. that shots had been heard on rue de La Matapédia.

Officers toured the neighborhood Sunday night as a crime scene technician inspected the scene.
No suspect has been arrested in connection with this incident.
“The fact that the victim collaborates more or less delays the continuation of things,” Marier said.
