Montreal police responded to a shooting on July 15th at around 12:45 a.m. in Place de la Paix, located in the area of Saint-Laurent and René-Lévesque Blvds.

On arrival, police located a man in his 30s suffering from serious injuries. Despite lifesaving efforts, the victim could not be saved. The victim has been identified as Abdeck Kenedith Ibrahim, 33.

43-year-old Jeremiah Valentine has been charged with first-degree murder in the killing of 33-year-old Abdeck Kenedith Ibrahim.

Valentine is no stranger to high-profile violence. He was one of several men convicted in the 2005 Boxing Day shootout in downtown Toronto—a gun battle between rival gangs that killed 15-year-old Jane Creba and injured six others. Jane had been out shopping with her family on Yonge Street when she was caught in the crossfire.
