The shooting took place on the corner of St. Laurent. and Jean-Talon St. at 10:55 p.m., a police spokesman said.
The man’s death was later confirmed by doctors after he was taken to hospital.
There were “many witnesses” on stage, in a corner that is usually quite busy, and many different calls to 911 came. But police are still reuniting what happened, the spokesman told CTV News.
“We do not know the relationship between the victim and the suspect,” he said. “Was there a conflict? We do not know.”
Police are in the process of interviewing witnesses and should have more details later today, he said shortly after 7am.
A description of the suspect is not yet available, he said. The victim was known to the police.
This is a growing story that will be updated.
