Police say they have reason to believe a deadly shooting inside a Laval restaurant on Wednesday evening was linked to organized crime.
Laval police (SPL) received numerous calls to 911 at 7:25 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found a 42-year-old man with at least one gunshot wound.
He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The man, identified by the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) as Bernard Cherfan, 42, is known to have been involved in organized crime.
On Thursday morning, the SQ was still unable to provide a physical description of the suspect, or whether he fled on foot or in a vehicle.
Investigators and forensic technicians are studying the restaurant’s parking lot and reviewing surveillance cameras to determine the facts that led to the shooting.
Police have also set up two checkpoints to collect information about the shooting.
