The Laval Police Department has confirmed a fifth homicide for 2024 following the death of a 28-year-old man who was shot on Thursday afternoon near the Carrefour Laval shopping mall. 

Police received a 911 call just after 5 p.m. regarding the incident, which occurred at the intersection of Daniel-Johnson and Carrefour boulevards, directly across from the shopping centre.
