The LPD reports that three suspects were arrested on Sept. 1 in connection with what the force described as an attempted murder in Chomedey a few days earlier.
The arrests followed a shooting incident around 2:45 am on Sept. 1 in front of a recently-opened bar/restaurant, located in a commercial mall at the intersection of Curé-Labelle and Samson boulevards.
One of the persons shot was located following a 911 call and was taken to a hospital, while another showed up at a different hospital later. The two and a third suspect were arraigned at the Laval courthouse to face various charges.
Stevenson Shoute, 20, appeared on charges of recklessly firing a gun to injure a person, aggravated assault and the possession of an illegal firearm.
He was being detained and was due to return to court this week. A news report last week maintained that Shoute was struck four times by bullets, including three in the back, as he was leaving the bar/restaurant. The same report said that up to 15 shots were fired during the exchange of bullets.
Charles Turnier Lafleur, 29, appeared on charges of attempted murder, recklessly firing a gun to injure a person and assault. He was also being detained and was set to appear in court again last week.
Rebecca Dugas Germain, 25, was arraigned on charges of being an accomplice to an attempted murder, firing a gun and aggravated assault. She was released but had to meet several conditions, according to the LPD. None of the suspects has a criminal record.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call 911. The police file is LVL 210901-004. Anonymous calls can also be made to the LPD’s Info-Line at 450-662-4636.

A 19-year-old male who stole an SUV was taken into custody by the Laval Police on Sept. 3 following a vehicle chase which ended with the stolen car crashing and bursting into flames.
The vehicle, a Honda CRV, was stolen by the suspect in Sainte-Dorothée and was later spotted by the LPD around 3 am as it made its away eastward along Autoroute 440 near Autoroute 13.
