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

Montreal Police are investigating after a 37-year-old man was stabbed in Martin Luther King Park in Côte-des-Neiges.

Police responded to reports of a stabbing last Wednesday afternoon and found the man with injuries to his upper body. They arrested a 62-year-old woman at the scene, and early reports suggest the stabbing occurred during a conflict between the two, who know each other.

There have been numerous reports of incivility in and around Martin Luther King Park over the last few years, as the park is home to many homeless people who congregate around the chalet. There is also a day shelter across the street that served as a night warming shelter last winter, and was subject to many disturbances, including fights outdoors as well as inside, and harassment of neighbours by people who reportedly congregate in the area. n
