Memorial ceremony for Montreal police officer killed in Côte-des-Neiges shooting to be held July 7
The SPVM says the ceremony will honor Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, with exact time and attendance details to be announced soon.
The Montreal police service will hold a public memorial for officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane on July 7 at the Bell Centre to honor the officer killed in the line of duty.
Benredouane was killed during a midday gunfight in the Cote-des-Neiges neighbourhood on June 22; the incident also claimed civilian Michel Mizrahi and wounded a second police officer.
His death marked the first time in 24 years a Montreal officer was killed on the job. Benredouane left behind a wife, pregnant with their second child, and a three-year-old son.
A private funeral occurred on June 24 at the Islamic Centre of Quebec mosque in Saint-Laurent, providing family closure before the public memorial.
The 25-year-old assailant from Alberta also died during the confrontation. The SPVM says more details regarding the upcoming memorial ceremony will be released soon.
