The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI) is seeking witnesses and video footage from the shooting on June 22 in Montréal's Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood that left three people dead. The provincial police watchdog will set up a mobile command post near the corner of Avenue de Courtrai and Décarie Boulevard between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday to interview anyone with information about the incident.
