A Gatineau man has died after suffering serious injuries in an armed assault last week, prompting police to classify the case as the city’s third homicide of 2026.

Gatineau Police confirmed on Monday that 45-year-old Jean Patenaude succumbed to injuries sustained during an attack that took place on Wednesday on rue Broadway Ouest. Authorities did not disclose the exact date of his death.
