Sixteen-Year-Old Boy Dies After Montreal Stabbing

A 16-year-old boy died after being stabbed Tuesday evening near Barclay and Victoria avenues in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood, marking the city's eighth reported homicide of 2025. Police responded to multiple 911 calls around 6 p.m. and found the victim conscious but with life-threatening upper body injuries; his condition worsened and he died in hospital early Wednesday. Witnesses reported that the suspect, who attacked the teenager with a sharp object, fled the scene on foot before officers arrived, and no arrests have been made. Investigators have set up a security perimeter and are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante expressed condolences to the victim's family, calling the killing a tragedy no parent should experience.
