Shot More Than Once Outside the Sports Complex Whose Owner Was Assassinated Three Years Ago, and the Laval Police Have Published Nothing At All: a Man in His Twenties, Known to Police, Survives an Attempted Murder on Avenue Jacques-Bureau (Originally Reported September 22, 2026)

Originally reported Tuesday, September 22, 2026 by Benoit LeBlanc of Courrier Laval and updated by the same outlet at 2:14 p.m., with La Presse carrying the file the same day. A young man was shot more than once on Monday night in the parking area of a Chomedey sports complex, and more than a day later the Service de police de Laval has issued no communiqué, no file number and no description of anyone.

What happened

At approximately 10:20 p.m. on Monday, September 21, 2026, several people called 911 to report detonations heard near the Carrefour Multisports, on avenue Jacques-Bureau. The complex sits in an enclave bounded on the south by boulevard Saint-Elzéar, on the east by boulevard Daniel-Johnson and on the west by Autoroute 15.

SPL patrol officers arriving quickly on scene located a victim near the complex’s outdoor facilities: a young man in his twenties who had been struck by more than one projectile. Courrier Laval reports the victim is known to police. He was taken to hospital for injuries that are not considered life-threatening.

What the force has said

The only police voice in the record is agent Nicolas Mongeau, the SPL spokesperson on the file, who told the outlet the investigation was at its very beginning, that no arrest had been made, and that a large perimeter had been erected around the scene. Investigators from the escouade des crimes contre la personne and SPL crime scene technicians attended to establish the causes and circumstances. The force’s confidential tip line for the file is 450-662-INFO (4636).

The address has a history, and police have not invoked it

Courrier Laval notes that the shooting happened near the outdoor facilities of a complex whose then-owner, Tinel Timu, was assassinated more than three years ago, and that a homicide the outlet describes as linked to organized crime took place in the Carrefour Multisports parking lot itself in March 2016. That history belongs to the address, not to this file. Police have drawn no connection between Monday night’s shooting and either earlier killing, and none should be read into the location alone.

Nothing in this file has been tested in court.
