MONTREAL – A 42-year-old woman is dead and her 21-year-old son has been arrested in what Montreal police say is the city’s first murder of the year.

Police spokesperson Mariane Allaire Morin says a 911 call came in Thursday morning for a welfare check at a home in the LaSalle borough, west of downtown Montreal.

Inside the home, officers found the woman’s body, which showed signs of violence.

Allaire Morin says the 21-year-old was arrested later in the day and the death was officially declared a homicide.

Documents provided by the prosecutor’s office say Tyrell Rytar is facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of Lisa Marie Rytar, and indicate the death occurred Tuesday.

Allaire Morin says the suspect does not have a criminal record.
