David Lemieux’s father randomly killed in Montreal

David Lemieux and his family are in mourning over the tragic death of the patriarch, who was randomly killed last Tuesday night.

It was the boxer himself who dropped the awful news on his Instagram account. He was concise, while sharing a photo of his father, Andre Fernand Lemieux, who was 64 years old.

David Lemieux posted a photo of his late father with his three-month-old grandson. André Fernand Lemieux seemed very happy to meet Xander, the first child of David and his wife, Olympic champion Jennifer Abel.

Lemieux told Réjean Tremblay of the Journal de Montréal that he was devastated by this dramatic event.

“I am in a state of shock. I went to see my grandmother this morning, the whole family is upset,” said the 33-year-old boxer.

Andre Fernand Lemieux was shot in the Saint-Laurent sector, when he was hit in the upper body, in front of some witnesses of the scene.

For the moment, no one has been arrested in this case.

Jennifer Abel and David Lemieux unveil a photo of their baby

“It is with great excitement that we present our son Xander.”

It was on August 1 that Jennifer Abel and David Lemieux introduced their newborn son on social media. Little Xander is almost three months old now!

“Hello everyone, it is with great enthusiasm that we present you our son Xander,” could be read in the legend under the publication of the boxer.

Let’s remember that it was on Mother’s Day, that Jennifer Abel announced the birth of her son on her Instagram page. The Olympic athlete posted an adorable photo of his little family!

“In my life, I have often heard people say congratulations. Congratulations on your great performance, congratulations on your new record. For the past week, I have been congratulated on my new role as a mom and I can tell you that I have never been more proud to hear that word. On this Mother’s Day, I would like to congratulate all the moms for your unconditional love and dedication. I take this opportunity to introduce you to the one who gave me the most beautiful title in the world Xander Lemieux,” read the caption under the publication.

Recall that last February, the diver announced that she was retiring to start a family, in a letter to the little Jennifer Label. She wrote: “Before you, there were few mixed-race girls in diving. Maybe because they were told like you that black girls are in track and field or basketball, not in the pool. But you, your dream was to dive,” it read.

“The curtain has fallen. These Tokyo Olympics were my fourth and last. The Olympic journey has been fabulous. I started it at the age of 16, when I barely realized what was happening to me. I’m finishing it at the dawn of my 30th birthday, fully aware of the path I’ve taken”, she had shared following the announcement of her retirement.
