A Montreal man appeared in Quebec Court on Thursday afternoon to face charges of first degree murder and conspiracy to murder related to the shooting of a 25-year-old man last September.
Julien-Fagnani Bergeron, 27, is charged in connection to the 19th homicide in the city of Montreal last year.
On Sept. 13, Edwidge Jacques was fatally shot while in a car on Lacordaire Ave. near Crevier St. in Montreal North. The victim later died of his injuries in a hospital. Jacques had ties to a street gang and, at the time of his death, he was facing a drug trafficking charge and had been sentenced in May to perform 240 hours of community service after an assault conviction.
