The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) is searching for 21-year-old Édouard Côté of Sherbrooke in connection with the March 2 murder of 29-year-old Junior Mouckagni Bouelili.

Investigators believe Côté may be in the Eastern Townships or the Montreal area. Meanwhile, a man and a woman, both in their twenties, were arrested on Wednesday and remain in custody. They are expected to appear in court in Granby at a later date.

The victim’s body was discovered at approximately 9:45 p.m. inside the trunk of a burned-out vehicle in Lac-Brome. The car had previously been reported stolen.

According to Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Élizabeth Marquis-Guy, officers from the Brome-Missisquoi station responded to a report of an unresponsive person inside a burned vehicle. Upon arriving at the scene, police discovered the victim.
