The photo in the first link by Mario Beauregard with the feet visible beneath the blanket isn’t in the alley, it’s right on Parc in front of Ta Pies – did they move the body from the alley? Very odd.

Sorry, the photo is in the second link. In the first link there is a shot of the body 5 seconds into the lead video that clearly shows the location as well. The red painted wall meeting the brick wall, the bent no parking/ arrêt d’autobus street sign, and the parking spot post are all clear indicators.

Thanks for the updates, Kate. I live a couple of blocks away, so it’s good to know the police actually have a suspect.
