Joseph Mécène Jean-Louis, a former Supreme Court judge who declared himself the president of Haiti in a social media video in February, has made no public appearances since then and no confirmed public statements regarding the assassination of rival Jovenel Moïse on Wednesday in his home.
Unidentified gunmen raided Moïse’s home in the early morning hours of Wednesday and shot him dead, as well as severely injuring First Lady Martine Moïse. Moïse was 53 years old and set to step down as president in 2022.
Jean-Louis declared himself president in early February in a video and has made no public appearances since. He has not attempted to put together a cabinet, enforce any laws, or otherwise exercise presidential power. No foreign state has accepted him as the legitimate president of Haiti.
