Two Cree men were found dead in a car after a shooting in Quebec, prompting an investigation into possible organized crime links.

Two men in their 30s from the Cree First Nation community of Mistissini, Quebec, were found dead in a car following a shooting on January 28, 2026. Quebec’s Sureté du Québec and Eeyou Eenou Police Force are investigating the incident as a possible homicide linked to organized crime or the drug trade, though no arrests have been made. The community was placed under a temporary lockdown, with schools and public buildings closed, but it was lifted by Thursday noon. Authorities confirmed there is no ongoing threat to the public. Chief Michael Petawabano urged residents to remain calm and cooperate with police, while Quebec Premier François Legault confirmed additional resources were deployed. The close-knit community is grieving the loss.
