QUÉBEC – Quebec City police say the death of a 21-year-old man found in a home Friday is being investigated as a homicide.
Police identify the victim as Gabriel-Simon Akokane and say he has a criminal record.
They say officers found Akokane dead around 11 a.m. while carrying out a search at a home in the Saint-Jean-Baptiste neighbourhood.
Police say the search was part of an investigation by the force’s urban violence unit.
Sandra Dion, a police spokesperson, says Akokane had injuries on his body but declined to provide further details, citing the ongoing investigation.
A mobile command post is at the scene.
