14-year-old found dead near Hells Angels club in Beauce region
Radio-Canada sources say teen was reportedly armed with an assault rifle
Quebec's public security minister expressed shock over reports of a 14-year-old boy found dead near a criminal biker club in the Beauce region.
Multiple media outlets, including Radio-Canada, have reported that the boy's body was discovered outside a known Hells Angels training club in Frampton, Quebec, on Monday. According to unnamed sources, the teenager had traveled from Montreal and was carrying an AK-47-style assault rifle.
Provincial police have not confirmed these details, stating they are awaiting official identification.
Minister François Bonnardel addressed the reports on the social media platform X, saying, "It is disgusting for street gangs to enlist young people, children, to do their dirty work."
He reassured the public that provincial police will remain in Frampton for the coming days and are well-equipped to investigate the case and ensure public safety.
The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) is expected to establish a command post in the area on Friday to communicate with local residents.
