The owner of a Montreal brewery murdered.

The owner of a brewery in the LaSalle borough with links to the Italian mafia in Montreal was shot dead Tuesday morning in a commercial garage.

Emergency services were called Tuesday morning around 9:50 am in the garage near a small commercial complex, at the corner of Newman Boulevard and Lapierre Street.
They discovered Mario Macri, 44, unconscious. The businessman, owner of Brasserie des Rapides with other members of his family, had been hit by at least one projectile on his upper body.

According to Urgences-santé, resuscitation maneuvers were performed on the victim, but were later abandoned.

His death was found on the spot.

By mid-afternoon, the Montreal police had dispatched their mobile command post to the scene and major crime investigators were busy meeting potential witnesses to try to understand the circumstances surrounding this case.

Forensic identification technicians were also on hand to analyze the crime scene and collect as many clues as possible.

According to the police, no one would have witnessed the murder directly. As for the shooter, he fled before the police arrived and has not yet been arrested.

Mario Macri has become the fifth murder victim in Montreal since the beginning of the year.
