Another man, who was probably accompanying Polynice, was also slightly injured in one leg. He refused to cooperate with the police.
According to the police, the gunshots were reported to have been fired following a conflict. A suspicious vehicle, a Porsche brand SUV, probably damaged in the front, was seen on the scene and the police are looking for it.
In the proceedings against gang leader Arsene Mompoint, an SPVM investigator last year reported that Polynice was managing a drug smuggling ring in downtown Montreal and that he had obtained supplies from Mompoint and another red, Jerry Jacques Raymond aka Jedi.
