The victim was initially going there as part of an exchange of goods.

The person was hit in the lower body, and taken to a hospital. The SPL confirmed there’s no fear for the life of the victim despite serious.

The police received a first call in connection with the conflict at 6:40 p.m. because of the gunshots heard. Once there, the SPL arrested a 34-year-old suspect, who was still being held on the morning of Dec. 6.

The SPL is still looking for another suspect linked with the events.

Trading Place

A neutral meeting area was inaugurated in November 2021, at the SPL Headquarters, which is located at 2911, Chomedey Boulevard.

Available at all times and filmed 24 hours a day, the meeting area allows citizens to trade goods safely.

At the time of that zone’s inauguration, the SPL was already considering the creation of at least two other exchange areas on the territory, in particular in Chomedey and Pont-Viau.

The major operation, related to urban firearm violence in recent months, is being deployed in collaboration with the police forces of Montreal, Deux-Montagnes, Saint-Jérôme and Longueuil.

About 150 police officers are working on that case, carrying out the various interventions, some of which are taking place in Montreal, Saint-Jérôme and Deux-Montagnes.

That’s the result of an investigation, initiated in August as part of the Centaur project, in which the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are also taking part.

At the SPL, it’s the Organized Crime Division that’s involved in the operation, which has already been helpful, since narcotics and firearms would have already been confiscated.

A more complete report of the operation, which is still in progress, will be presented later.

911 was alerted around 7:46 a.m., witnessing gunshots in this small commercial complex located along Highway 440, south side, between Industriel Boulevard and Highway 15.

When SPL patrol officers arrived at the scene, a man was lying on the floor of the parking lot. His death was confirmed at the scene. The victim is said to be a 66-year-old man.

He would have died of his injuries, after being hit by more than one bullet, in this new episode of violence linked to a firearm in Laval.

Vehicle in Flames

Later, around 8:47 a.m., 911 received a call reporting a burned vehicle on 71st Avenue, just east of Lachapelle Bridge, in Chomedey.

That car was possibly set on fire by the suspect(s) in the homicide that occurred earlier in the morning.

At least one suspect would then have scampered off on foot toward Montreal, with Montreal’s police having been made aware of that development affecting its territory.

Arriving on the scene at 8:53 a.m., Laval firefighters brought the fire under control in just a minute, before transferring the investigation to the SPL; an investigation which should now be taken over by the Sûreté du Québec (SQ).

Organized Crime

Around 10 a.m., we learned the victim would be called Vincenzo Armani, a man known to the police.

Therefore, the investigation was transferred to the SQ because of a probable link with organized crime.
