According to our information, Sébastien Leduc lived in the targeted location before his incarceration. The 25-year-old man is currently accused of the murder of Jessy Furtado-Bénard which occurred last month at the O’Gascon Gentlemen Club, a strip bar in Terrebonne.
A bloody fight broke out in the establishment at the end of March. The victim, a relative of the gang leader now associated with bikers Jean-Philippe Célestin, was killed by a stabbing weapon.
The front door of Sébastien Leduc’s home was smashed by firearm projectiles on Friday around 2:30 a.m., indicates the public relations officer of the Laval Police Service (SPL), Stéphanie Beshara.
Investigators went to the site to clarify the circumstances of this event, which caused no injuries. No suspects have been arrested in connection with this episode of armed violence.
