A man in his 50s died from his injuries Thursday after being assaulted by multiple suspects in the parking lot of the Orange Julep restaurant in Montreal's Cte-des-Neiges neighbourhood in late May.

The Service de Police de la Ville de Montral (SPVM) says they received a calljust after 10:15 p.m. on Wednesday May 31.
