The suspect will be met by investigators and appear later at the Sherbrooke Courthouse.
Remember, around 5 a.m. Friday morning, Sherbrooke Police Department officers were called to reports of a man being stabbed near Gillespie Street in Sherbrooke. The investigation was quickly transferred to the SQ.
The BEI is investigating
The Office of Independent Investigations (BEI) has also launched an investigation into the events. According to preliminary information, a person who made incoherent comments called 911 around 2:40 a.m. A few minutes later, officers from the Sherbrooke Police Department arrived at the scene.
The police officers then spoke to the residents of the apartment to clarify the reason for the call and then left. A 911 call was reportedly made at 5:04 a.m. for a seriously injured person outside the residence.
The BEI investigates all cases in which a person, other than an on-duty police officer, dies, suffers serious injury or is injured by a firearm used by a police officer during a police operation or during police custody of a corpse.
A perimeter fence was erected on Gillespie Street during the day. A neighbor told La Tribune that he saw police performing CPR on the victim outside a house just a few dozen meters from the scene of the alleged attack.
None of the other neighbors encountered had seen or heard anything as the attack had occurred early in the morning.
“There is constant noise, so we don't pay attention to it anymore,” mentions a lady who lives nearby with her elementary school-aged child. People scream in the streets 24/7. My car was hit during the night and crashed into a tree, causing it to be totaled. It's getting worse, we'll try to leave the neighborhood. »
