This criminal investigation led by the SPVM benefited from the close collaboration of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Laval Police Service, the Sûreté du Québec, the Vancouver Police Department and the Victoria Police Service.

The investigation started on May 14, 2024, around 8:20 p.m., when 911 received a report concerning noises resembling gunshots and the presence of an unconscious man on avenue du Parc, near rue Legendre, in the borough of Ahuntsic–Cartierville.

The suspects reportedly quickly fled in a vehicle before police arrived. The victim was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A security perimeter was set up at the intersection to allow those responsible for the investigation to analyze the crime scene and meet witnesses. This was the 11th homicide of the year 2024 on the island of Montreal.
