MONTREAL — Montreal police arrested three people, including two teenagers, after gunshots were fired Tuesday night at a building owned by a man with two properties targeted by deadly fires.
Police say gunfire hit the building in Old Montreal owned by Emile Benamor, the man who owns two other buildings in the district that were targeted since 2023 by alleged arson, leading to the deaths of nine people.
And he is the owner of a heritage property on nearby Place D'Youville that was allegedly set on fire in March 2023, leading to the deaths of seven people. A lawyer who represents Benamor did not return a message today, and police wouldn't say if there are any links between the arrests and the two fires.
