Montreal police have arrested two suspects in connection with a murder that occurred in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough last week.
The suspects are 20 and 21 years old. They were arrested late Thursday and are expected to appear at the Montreal courthouse later today.
These arrests were made as part of an investigation by the SPVM’s major crimes section, with support from several specialized units and local police stations.
Fifth murder of 2025
On March 14, shortly after midnight, a 911 call was received regarding an injured person near the intersection of Ontario and Saint-Germain streets, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough.
When police arrived on the scene, they located a victim, a 34-year-old man who was injured in the lower body by a sharp object and was rushed to a hospital, where he died during the night.
In the morning, the SPVM confirmed that the man had died as a result of his injuries.
This was the fifth murder of the year recorded on the Island of Montreal.
Despite the two arrests, the investigation continues.
