MONTREAL – Quebec’s provincial police force says the last of four suspects in a homicide last year has been arrested in Ontario.

The Sûreté du Québec announced in a news release that a 21-year-old man was arrested Wednesday in Hamilton, Ont., in connection with what police allege was the premeditated murder of Michael Lévesque-Fitzpatrick.

Lévesque-Fitzpatrick died on Nov. 29, 2024, in Rimouski.

York Regional Police say the accused is charged with first-degree murder.

Three others have also been arrested in Lévesque-Fitzpatrick’s death.

The Sûreté du Québec allege the 21-year-old accused is linked to a multi-jurisdictional investigation known as Project Wrangler between Ontario and Quebec, which investigated a series of crimes in Ontario and Quebec between April 2024 and March 2025.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 25, 2025.
