Montreal police name suspect in fatal Pointe-Saint-Charles stabbing

Editor's note: CBC originally identified the victim in this case as a male, based on information provided by the Montreal police. After speaking with a family member and a close friend, we have changed the pronouns to reflect how the victim self-identified.

The incident happened in an apartment on Mullins Street around 2 a.m.

Police had originally said Lindor was an important witness, but they now say he is a suspect.

A family member has identified the victim as Sisi Thibert, a transgender woman.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Lindor, who police say is wanted on a charge of second-degree murder.

The suspect was seen on security footage in the Mullins Street apartment lobby wearing a black coat, black pants and a black sweater with "Nike" in white letters on the chest.

Anyone with information on Lindor's whereabouts is asked to call 911 or the police Info-Crime Montréal line at 514 393-1133.
