2 arrested as police investigate attempted murder in Laval
Two people have been arrested in connection with an alleged attempted murder in Laval's Duvernay neighbourhood last April.
Allan Santiago Valencia, 22, and a 17-year-old minor, from Ontario, were apprehended by investigators on July 10.
Santiago Valencia appeared in Laval court on the same day to face charges of attempted murder with a firearm, discharging a firearm and possession of a prohibited weapon.
He remains in custody, and his case is expected to return to court on July 24.
The teenager appeared before the youth division of the Court of Quebec in Laval to face charges of attempted murder with a firearm, discharging a firearm, possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of a firearm knowing that its serial number had been altered, disguised or erased and breach of an order prohibiting the possession of a firearm.
He remains in custody pending further legal proceedings.
The arrests come after Laval police (SPL) received several 911 calls at 8:45 a.m. on April 6 about gunshots heard on de La Malbaie Avenue.
'Patrol officers dispatched to the scene found one person with gunshot wounds, but the suspects had already fled,' the force noted. 'The injured man was taken to the hospital to be treated for serious gunshot wounds.'
