Man shot dead in Lachine
Grim news bits from Wednesday evening:
A young man was shot dead on a basketball court in Lachine. TVA goes on to say that De‑Shong Keziah Paul was killed as his brother watched.
A man was stabbed in eastern Ville‑Marie, but not fatally.
And a woman was found stabbed to death in a wooded park in Laval.
Update on the Laval incident: the victim was 46-year-old Irina Draghicescu Iankulov. Police arrested 20-year-old Konstantinos Tsargoulis, and they think it was random.

Thank you for telling us, bob.
I’m trying to find something to say that isn’t “what a horrible thing to happen” but that’s about it. Every woman has had moments, walking around on their own, when they encounter a man who might be a threat. It’s every woman’s nightmare that this could happen. I am sorry that your daughter’s friend lost her mother in such a way.
