Government declares two-week state of emergency after death of Jovenel Moïse and a reported gun battle
An already struggling and chaotic Haiti is reeling from the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse followed by a reported gun battle in which authorities said police killed four of the murder suspects, detained two others and freed three officers being held hostage.
Officials have pledged to find all those responsible for the predawn raid on Moïse’s house early on Wednesday in which he was fatally shot and his wife, Martine Moïse, critically wounded. She was flown to Miami for treatment.
