Another Life Stolen: Montreal Grieves Its 23rd Homicide of 2025

Montreal, QC – July 27, 2025 — In the early hours of Sunday morning, tragedy once again struck the heart of Montreal as the city recorded its 23rd homicide of the year. A man in his 50s was found lifeless on Lacordaire Boulevard around 4:00 a.m., following a disturbing 911 call reporting an unresponsive individual on the sidewalk. Montreal Police responded swiftly and found the man with visible injuries to his upper body, believed to be caused by a sharp object.

Despite the urgent efforts of first responders, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity has not yet been released pending notification of next of kin. The news of another violent death has shocked the local community, already grappling with a concerning rise in fatal incidents in 2025.


A Crime Scene Shrouded in Mystery

The SPVM (Service de police de la Ville de Montréal) has since confirmed that the death is being investigated as a homicide. Forensic teams have secured the area, and a portion of Lacordaire Boulevard remains closed to traffic as investigators comb the scene for clues. At this time, no arrests have been made, and police are urging anyone with information or surveillance footage to come forward.

“The circumstances surrounding this killing are still unclear,” said a spokesperson for SPVM. “But rest assured, we are treating this case with urgency and working to bring those responsible to justice.”

This incident follows a troubling trend of nighttime violence in Montreal’s residential zones. Residents nearby report hearing sounds in the early hours but were unaware of the horror that had unfolded just steps away from their homes.

Though the victim has not yet been named, the sense of loss is already being felt. Community members have begun leaving flowers and candles at the scene, forming a small but growing memorial in honor of the man whose life was taken far too soon.

“It’s heartbreaking. Whether we knew him or not, he was a person — someone’s brother, friend, maybe even a father,” said one local resident. “He didn’t deserve to die like this. No one does.”

This tragedy reminds us of the fragility of life and the importance of community vigilance. Montrealers are calling for increased safety measures, better lighting in high-risk areas, and support for at-risk populations — especially vulnerable adults living alone.

As the investigation continues, the community holds its breath, praying for justice and hoping that the man’s final moments are not forgotten..
