US EditionAccused in deadly Amqui, Que., truck crash found guilty of murder
- In March 2023, Steeve Gagnon was convicted in Amqui, Quebec, of murdering three individuals and attempting to kill two others during a truck attack.
- The attack followed Gagnon's premeditated plan, supported by videos he recorded two days before describing running down children at a schoolyard where no students were present that day.
- Gagnon struck and killed three men—Gérald Charest , Jean Lafrenière , and Simon-Guillaume Bourget —and seriously injured nine others after accelerating his truck onto the sidewalk.
- Following the jury's unanimous decision, Steeve Gagnon was sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 25 years for murder, along with concurrent 10-year sentences for attempted murder, by the presiding judge in Quebec’s Superior Court.
- This verdict and sentence reflect the court's conclusion that Gagnon's actions were intentional and premeditated, despite his defense claiming the incident was accidental due to momentary inattention.
