The Canadian Press, 08 Feb, 2018 11:33 AM

MONTREAL — A 29-year-old man has died in hospital after he was shot during an apparent street fight in Montreal's Rosemont district.

Police say the shooting occurred just after midnight during an argument involving a few people on Chambly St., north of the downtown core.

The suspect fled the scene on foot, but police have not made an arrest, nor have they issued a description.

Police are seeking witnesses and checking for any surveillance cameras that may help them identify the suspect.

This is Montreal's third homicide of the year, and second this week, after a 52-year-old man was stabbed during an argument.
