Several pieces of information and criminal intelligence would suggest that this could be an event linked to conflicts between criminal groups, we can read in the press release issued Wednesday morning.
No arrests have taken place so far.

The investigation is carried out by the Malsain project which aims to counter violence linked to drug trafficking by organized crime.
For several months, a conflict has opposed the Hells Angels and the Blood Family Mafia (BFM), which brings together independent traffickers in the world of narcotics. This group would be led by Dave Pic Turmel, who is still wanted.
L'Operation Scandaleux led last week to calm the conflict resulted in around thirty arrests and around forty searches as well as seizures of firearms, high-capacity magazines, narcotics and evidence relating to the various events. Montreal, Longueuil, Saguenay and Sept-Îles were targeted, in particular.
