Shots Fired During Haitian President Moïse’s Funeral, Protesters Clash With Police, Delegates Flee


Shots rang out, roads were blocked, and barricades set on fire as the body of slain Haitian President Jovenel Moise returned to his hometown today for his funeral.

Supporters of Moise demanded justice by disrupting the ceremony as protests in the Caribbean nation continue weeks after the President’s assassination. U.S. and United Nations delegations left about 15 minutes after arriving as the hostility increased.

Marine Moise spoke to the crowd for the first time since the deadly raid on her home, telling the public not to be afraid during this moment of uncertainty.

At least 26 suspects are in custody in connection to Moise’s death. Police are still looking for several more suspects they say were involved in the assassination plot, including a former rebel leader and an ex-senator.
