What it’s like to have a relative murdered

Mehdi Douraid, 28, was shot dead six months ago in the Place Versailles parking lot. He had no criminal history and there are no suspects in his murder. The assumption is that it was mistaken identity. La Presse talks to his family about their loss, as they prepare to leave Montreal North for the suburbs.

Another story in this category: the family of Jayson Colin, shot in Montreal North earlier this month, say their neighbourhood is suffering from neglect. Colin – who, like Douraid, had no criminal history – was shot outside a high school building, and – as in Douraid’s case – no arrests have been made.
