Police are investigating the killing of a 40-year-old man in the parking lot of a restaurant on Mohawk territory south of Montreal.
Kyle Chad Grabowski was shot just after 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday in the parking lot behind Robbie’s Smokehouse in Kahnawake.
Kahnawake Peacekeepers are investigating the killing with the Quebec provincial police major crimes and other specialized units.
In a statement on Wednesday, Peacekeepers said Grabowski was shot multiple times.
According to witnesses and video footage, the Indigenous police service said, the victim was leaving the restaurant when he was attacked by two suspects who fled in a red Honda Civic.
Authorities say the vehicle was found set on fire a short time later in neighbouring Châteauguay, Que., and a firearm was found nearby.
Police said that Grabowski was not a resident of the community and no one has been arrested in his death.
Const. Kyle Zachary said anyone with information about the shooting should contact police.
Peacekeepers said there is no active threat to the Mohawk community in connection with Grabowski’s killing.
