“He was all stabbed,” said Josée, who asked that her last name not be used. “He was slashed from side to side,” she explained, clutching her stomach to illustrate. “Blood was gushing out.”

The man said he had been jumped by two young men he didn’t know, said Josée. The victim said he didn’t live in the neighbourhood, but had been visiting a friend, she said.
