Woman tells Quebec coroner of grief after losing brother in 2022 killing spree

MONTREAL — The sister of one of the victims of a Montreal-area murder spree in August 2022 told a coroner today she lives with a tremendous amount of grief over the loss of her younger brother.

Roxanne Lévis Crevier told coroner Géhane Kamel that her brother, 22-year-old Alex Lévis Crevier, lived just three blocks from her home in Laval, Que., and was a frequent presence at her apartment and a popular uncle to her three children.

Lévis Crevier was the last of three men killed by 26-year-old Abdulla Shaikh over a 24-hour period in the Montreal area, gunned down while skateboarding on a residential street in the suburb north of Montreal.

Lévis Crevier’s sister learned of the incident on her street through Facebook while at a friend’s house and texted her brother about it, but didn’t hear back.
