Shawinigan Man Wanted in Homicide | Canada News

Shawinigan police are urgently searching for 41-year-old Philippe Benoit, described as a person of interest in a homicide, after he vanished from a campground — authorities warn him to be avoided and to call 911 if spotted. Standing just 5’5” and weighing around 100 lbs, with light brown hair and blue-green eyes, Benoit’s whereabouts have caused temporary closures at Camping Lac-aux-Sables, though campers are now allowed to move around — just no large gatherings. The Sûreté du Québec is offering a confidential tip line for anyone with info: 1-800-659-4264. The investigation remains active as officials prioritize public safety.
