Montreal police are investigating the city's 17th homicide this year after the latest in a string of shootings left a 22-year-old man dead Sunday night in the Villeray neighbourhood. They found the victim near a parked vehicle on Cartier, with gunshot wounds in his upper body. The victim, who is known to police, was confirmed dead at the scene. Police would not confirm whether the shooting is connected to another less than 24 hours earlier outside a shopping centre in Ahuntsic–Cartierville, just west of this latest shooting, that left two men injured. This follows two other fatal shootings within the last week, in Montreal's East End and on the South Shore.
