A 19-year-old Quebec man has been charged in the death of a three-year-old child on Montreal's North Shore.
Court records show that Yacine Mehennaoui has been charged with criminal negligence causing death, possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition, and obstructing justice. He appeared in court in Laval Tuesday afternoon.
The accused's last known address is on the same street in Bois-des Filion where the toddler was found "seriously injured" Monday evening by police who received a 911 call.
Police have not said whether the accused has any relation to the victim.
Crown prosecutor Marie-Philippe Guimond said she objected to the release of the accused, who is scheduled to appear in court again on Thursday.
Two other people were arrested Tuesday in connection with the child's death, but the prosecutor could not say what will happen to them since police are still investigating.
