Montreal police (SPVM) say a man has been arrested and will be charged with first-degree murder in connection to a homicide in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough. The city’s 10th murder of the year.
Police responded to a report of a man’s death around 5 a.m. Sunday, in an alley on Parc Avenue.
The 33-year-old was found by a passerby.

“When police arrived, they located a man in his 30s who was unconscious. CPR maneuvers were carried out, but unfortunately the man’s death was noted on site,” said SPVM spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant on Sunday.
“Marks of violence were observed, which suggests a suspicious death on the part of the SPVM.”
Through initial stages of the investigation, police were able to identify a potential suspect, and took them into custody on Sunday night.
SPVM says the 22-year-old will appear in court by end of day Monday to face charges.
