A 55-year-old man is dead after a shooting in the Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough.

Montreal police (SPVM) said they received 911 calls around 11:45 on the night of last Sunday, February 2.

The shooting occurred at the corner of St. Jacques and Beaconsfield, where the 55-year-old was found unresponsive. Police say first responders worked to resuscitate the man, who was then transported to hospital where he died of his injuries.

The street had remained closed off even until late Monday afternoon while police carried out their investigation. Residents were not allowed out of their homes.

One resident, who asked that her name not be used, told The Suburban that the entire block was taped off. Police were instructing those residents who had to leave to use the back exit.

Nearly a week after the fact, there are no new developments in the investigation. SPVM spokesperson Constable Marianne Allaire Morin tells The Suburban it is ongoing, but they still have no suspects, and no arrests have been made. n
