  "account": "Montreal police announced on Friday that a man arrested in Mexico on Thursday is wanted for the 2025 homicide of a 34-year-old man. The incident occurred on March 14, when police responded to a call for an injured person near Ontario and Saint-Germain streets in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough. Upon arrival, officers found a man with a stab wound to his lower body, who was pronounced dead at the hospital that night. This marked Montreal's fifth homicide of 2025.\n\nFollowing the victim's death, two individuals – Dave Lambert-Chouinard and Valdano Saint-Hillien – were arrested and charged with manslaughter. However, police have been searching for a third suspect in connection with the case. On Thursday, Gabriel Lavoie, 22, was apprehended in Playa del Carmen. He was wanted on a murder warrant and has been placed in custody pending extradition proceedings. Police urge anyone with information to contact them.",
