A 19-year-old individual who may have a connection with three attempted murders that occurred in the space of 24 hours last week in the Montreal North sector is actively sought by the police.
The suspect, Steve Napoleon, was almost caught on Saturday evening during a road safety operation, at the corner of Jean-Talon and Christophe-Colomb streets.
According to our information, the young man was a passenger in a vehicle which was intercepted by the police for a violation of the road safety code.
While the patrol officers were arresting the driver, Andrews Joseph Ménard, who was driving with a sanctioned driver’s license and breaking his release conditions, Napoleon fled on foot.
A few moments earlier, he had given a false name to the police who asked him to identify himself.
Inside the vehicle, police found two firearms. Several casings were also discovered in the passenger compartment, suggesting that shots had been fired from the vehicle, according to our sources.
The police believe that Steve Napoleon could be involved in three attempted murders committed between Friday evening and Saturday evening – including two practically at the same place – in the Montreal North sector.
These shootings injured four people, but there was no fear for their lives.
Andrews Joseph Ménard, 25, has appeared in recent days on several counts, including possession of firearms.
As for Steve Napoleon, he remains untraceable. The young man is 1.94 meters (6 ft 3 in) tall and weighs 66 kg (145 lbs).
Anyone with information about Napoleon is invited to contact 911 or Info-Crime at 514 393-1133.
