Mirand’s arrest follows the fatal stabbing last May 7 of Vick Sévère Paul, 51, who had ties to street gangs and died in a hospital after an altercation on Claude-Gagné St., near Le Corbusier Blvd. and close to Place Bell.

Police allege Mirand fled the country after the attack but that on Sept. 24 it was established he was in Halifax. The suspect was returned to Laval and now faces a charge of culpable manslaughter.

Anyone with any information that could further the investigation into Jean-Philippe Mirand is urged to call the Laval police information line at 450-662-4636 or 911 and reference file LVL-230507-017.
