"The victim was shot several times, and there was nothing that could be done to save him," said Laval Police spokesperson Nathalie Lorrain. "That's why he wasn't even brought to hospital."
"He wasn't killed in front of his own residence, but in front of his girlfriend's house. She went into severe shock," said Mrs. Lorrain.
A firearm was found near the body. It has yet to be established whether this was the murder weapon.
According to investigators, Jeremy Brick was not known to police and had no priors on file. No suspect has yet been found.
