Four teenagers have been taken into custody following the fatal stabbing of a man inside a Montreal North Walmart on Tuesday.
“The arrests were made (Wednesday). We’re talking about four males, aged 15 years old,” said Jean-Pierre Brabant, a spokesperson with Montreal police. “They will appear in court to (face) different accusations.”
The arrests follow the death of a 22-year-old man who was stabbed inside the big-box store near the intersection of Henri-Bourassa and Lacordaire boulevards.
The attack unfolded while shoppers were inside, among them Neeham Khalid and his mother.
“I saw someone was on the ground, and then someone was running from one employee to get the bag of first aid kit,” he tells CTV News.
Khalid added that he then watched a group of teenagers flee the store.
“I thought it was just teenagers being teenagers because that’s how they are, just run around,” he said. “But then maybe a minute later, I heard someone scream.”
A source tells CTV News that the victim is Geovani Ray Robbins.
Police say the victim suffered upper body injuries from a “sharp object” during an altercation with a group of individuals. He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
“There were a lot of witnesses that were inside that business and outside,” said Brabant. “With all the information that was obtained, we were able to find those four teenagers.”
He noted that the motive behind the attack remains unclear.
The case marks the ninth homicide on Montreal police territory in 2026.
