Two Journalists Murdered in Haiti Amid Spiking Gang Violence

HeadlineJan 07, 2022

In Haiti, suspected gang members killed two journalists on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince Thursday. The reporters were on location to interview the leader of a rival gang. A third journalist managed to escape the brutal attack. Police identified the victims as local reporter Wilguens Louissaint and Amady John Wesley, who worked with Canadian radio station Écoute FM. The killings come amid a worsening security situation in Haiti six months after the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Earlier this week, the U.S. arrested and charged Colombian national Mario Palacios in connection with Moïse’s killing.
