Montreal Police were called to the area of Ronald and Avon streets on July 28th at approximately 2:00am.

Police offered little information in the case, but reported that a 17-year-old male died of his injuries in hospital after multiple shots were fired at a car. An 18-year-old male was also killed and his body was found inside a vehicle involved in the incident.

The teenager, who is now 18 but whose name can’t be reported because he was a minor at the time of the incident, was arrested in Toronto in March 2023, and was charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Update: On March 29, 2024, a search warrant was executed at a residence in the area of Dundas Street West and Bronte Road in Oakville. At that time, five male suspects were taken into custody.

At the residence, police also located stolen items and tools commonly used in the commission of auto thefts, including several reprogramming and relay devices, and seized a stolen BMW (see attached photos).

A 19-year-old male of Oakville was arrested by the HRPS on the strength of the Canada-wide warrant and was turned over to homicide investigators from Montreal police to face charges. The HRPS has not yet charged this suspect in relation to offences committed in Halton, and cannot publicly identify them due to their age at the time the homicide offences were committed.

Police cannot identify any of the other adults charged because it may lead to the identification of the associated youths charged.
