A memorial ceremony to honour the life of Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, the Montreal police officer who was killed in the line of duty in a shooting last week, will take place next Tuesday.
The Montreal police service (SPVM) says the ceremony will be held July 7 at the Bell Centre. The force says the exact time and details for attending will be announced soon.
Benredouane, 34, died June 22 in a shootout in the Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood. Civilian Michel Mizrahi, 68, lost his life, as well as the 25-year-old assailant from Alberta.

Benredouane, who had been an SPVM officer since 2021, was a father with a second child on the way.
His death marked the first police officer killed in the line of duty in Montreal since 2002.
