Montreal shooting victim remembered as devoted father and friend

MONTREAL — The man who died in a shooting involving Montreal police on Monday is being remembered as a devoted father and committed member of Montreal’s Jewish community.

Sarah Raskin says Michel Moshe Mizrahi was a member of Beth Chabad synagogue in Côte-St-Luc for more than 30 years.

Raskin, the co-director of the synagogue, said he was planning to meet his son for lunch when he was fatally shot as Montreal police responded to a gunman near the entrance of a hotel late Monday morning.

Raskin says she’ll remember Mizrahi for his generosity and his kindness towards his friends, family and community.
