The New Brunswick RCMP's Major Crime Unit is investigating the homicide of a man in Moncton, N.B.
On April 25, 2022, at approximately 6:10 a.m., police responded to a call for shots fired outside a home on Logan Lane. An 18-year-old man suffered gunshot wounds and was transported to hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries. Another person was inside the home during the incident, but was not injured.
The investigation has determined that the man's death was a result of a homicide, and identified the victim as Joedin Leger. Through the course of the investigation, police learned that a car had pulled up to the residence, and four individuals stepped out and approached the house. Several shots were fired, and the suspects got back into the vehicle which fled the scene in the direction of Mountain Road before police arrived.
"We believe this to be an isolated incident, and do not believe the safety of the general public is at risk," says Cpl. Hans Ouellette with the New Brunswick RCMP. "We are especially interested in speaking to anyone who lives in the area of Logan Lane, Kendra Street and Noel Street and may have video surveillance footage, or who was driving through the area between 1 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on April 25th and may have witnessed the incident or have dash-cam footage."
An autopsy was completed to help determine the man's exact cause of death.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Major Crime Unit at 1-888-506-RCMP (7267). Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), by downloading the secure P3 Mobile App, or by Secure Web Tips at www.crimenb.ca.
