This document reports the discovery of a point-like continuum source (CO–0.40–0.22*) located near the center of a peculiar molecular cloud (CO–0.40–0.22) in the Milky Way galaxy. CO–0.40–0.22* has properties consistent with being an intermediate-mass black hole of around 105 solar masses, including its luminosity, spectrum, and ability to reproduce the kinematics of gas in simulations. This would make it one of the most promising intermediate-mass black hole candidates identified in the Milky Way to date.
