Her worst fears finally came true.

When his body was found on the edge of 69th Avenue, he was wearing a red Puma sweater, faded blue jeans, camouflage underwear and black sneakers.
Police on Wednesday called on the public to identify the dark, curly-haired, black young man, who had tattoos of “Family” on his right hand and the initials “SK” on his left wrist.
According to our information, at a height of 1 m 93 (6 ft 4 in), the victim showed clear signs of violence, particularly in the face.
Sûreté du Québec (SQ) investigators and forensic identification technicians spent much of Monday and Tuesday at the scene of the crime to try to elucidate the circumstances.
The police even used a drone to collect as much evidence as possible.
The secret hovers
No suspects have been identified in this case and the motive for the crime remains a mystery.
