Murder of a Montreal teenager in Ontario: three Quebecers wanted

Three Quebecers are wanted in connection with the murder of a Montreal teenager who was allegedly stabbed by an accomplice during a vehicle theft in Ontario.

This summer, Katherine Bergeron-Pinzaronne, 27, allegedly stabbed the 16-year-old boy to death in Richmond Ill, near Toronto.

The teenager was taken to hospital very early on August 8.

The victim was then accompanied by two adults, who quickly left the scene after abandoning her.

Police officers in York, Ontario, have also released images of the scene to the public, in the hope of finding the vehicle involved as well as the suspects.

The teenager was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival at the hospital.

Vehicle theft network

The boy, originally from Montreal, was allegedly involved in a vehicle theft network with the four wanted suspects.

It was probably during one of their crimes that the tragedy occurred, York police said.

A few days ago, the authorities issued a wanted notice against four individuals in connection with this murder.

Katherine Bergeron-Pinzaronne is suspected of being the one who stabbed the young man to death.

The police are trying to locate her so that she can be charged with unpremeditated murder.

The two other individuals sought are also Quebecers. Lensly François, 31, of Saint-Hubert, and William Gallant, 26, of Quebec, face charges related to vehicle theft.

A fourth individual has still not been identified by the police.

According to information released by York police, Bergeron-Pinzaronne is a resident of Mississauga, Ontario.

But she is originally from Quebec, where she has already had problems with the law.

Sentence of 20 months of detention

As a sex worker at the time, she stabbed a client. The attack took place in a Brossard motel in September 2019. The man gave him his computer in exchange for sexual favors. But dissatisfied with the services rendered, he tried to leave with the device.

It was then that he was stabbed in the back and legs.

Bergeron-Pinzaronne received 20 months of detention.

Lensly François is also known to the police. In 2021, he made headlines for having been betrayed by his cell phone forgotten in a public place. The police found the necessary evidence there to accuse him of pimping.

He was sentenced to 30 months in detention.

He is also awaiting trial for an armed attack on police officers.

William Gallant has already been convicted of car theft.
