A 21 year old man has died in hospital after he was shot in an apartment in Rosemount Sunday afternoon.
Police officers were called to the building north of Mount Royal just before 2:00, where they found a 75 year old man waiting for them outside. That man was arrested and is being questioned by investigators. The officers then found the victim inside the apartment with serious gunshot wounds to his lower body.
SPVM spokesman Manuel Couture says a family conflict led to the shooting. Couture says the suspect is the victim's stepfather, though a motive is not yet known.
The murder is the 21st to occur in Montreal this year.
