CAP-HAITIEN, HAITI â Haiti police fired tear gas as shots rang out Friday moments after the start of the funeral ceremony for slain President Jovenel Moise, who was assassinated two weeks ago.
The U.S. delegation to the funeral, headed by the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas Greenfield, cut its visit short after the shooting began around 10 a.m. local time. Moments later the United Nations special representative to Haiti, Helen La Lime, left hurriedly with her entourage as well.
Moments before the funeral service began, the crowd began shouting âAssassinâ as Haiti National Police Chief Leon Charles arrived. They were joined by others yelling, âWhere is Jovenel?â
