This accident occurred minutes after gunshots were heard at the intersection of Prieur Street and London Avenue.
Projectile impacts were found on a building as well as cartridge cases and traces of blood on the ground, the latter would nevertheless not be linked to a criminal event. A scene was also erected to allow investigators to shed light on the facts.
