Police in Haiti has named fresh suspects, including a priest and a well-known gang leader, in the July 2021 murder of President Jovenel Mose.
Eight police officers have also had warrants issued, according to police spokesperson Garry Desrosiers, who stated this in an interview with Radio Télévision Carabes on Friday.

It is unclear what alleged roles the additional individuals may have played, and none of them have been detained.
Vitel’Homme Innocent, the head of the Kraze Barye gang, whose name loosely translates to “breaking barriers,” was named by Desrosiers as the gang member. The FBI is also looking for him after accusing him of aiding in the abduction of 17 American missionaries in October 2021.
Desrosiers did not offer any other information, and he did not respond to a message seeking comment right away.
More than 40 suspects had been held in the case prior to the release of the additional arrest warrants, including at least 18 alleged perpetrators who are alleged to be ex-soldiers from Colombia who allegedly broke into Mose’s home and attacked his wife.
A former senator from Haiti and other significant figures are among the other 11 suspects held by the United States.
