One man is dead and two were injured after the three were stabbed with a sharp object at Roman Zytynsky park in the St. Laurent borough around 9:15 p.m. Saturday.
The victim of the 26th murder of the year on the island of Montreal was 22 years old. As of Sunday morning, the second victim, 19, was in critical condition and the third, also 19, was in stable condition, said SPVM spokesperson Caroline Chèvrefils. The incident took place at the corner of Jules-Poitras and Deguire, in the eastern section of the borough. No arrests have yet been made as of Tuesday morning. SPVM spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant told The Suburban witnesses are still being interviewed.
An investigation is under way by the SPVM’s Major Crimes Unit and a security perimeter was established at the scene.
The incident came a day after a 28-year-old man with a keffiyeh was arrested in St. Laurent for threatening members of the Jewish community. The 25th murder of the year took place the previous Saturday at a bar at Côte des Neiges near Barclay when one of two victims of a stabbing succumbed to his injuries.
St. Laurent, in recent years, has been the locale of several crimes, including murders, shootings, arsons and attempted arsons and stabbings, as well as extortion. n
