MIAMI The assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse sent shockwaves through South Florida’s Haitian community.
Marleine Bastien, executive director of Family Action Network Movement in Miami, an advocacy organization for Miami’s underprivileged neighborhoods, says she first heard the news before going on her morning walk to work. Both her cell phone and her home phone began to ring, which she said is usually a bad sign. She said when she was told the news, it shocked her beyond belief.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) â A former Haitian senator, a fired government official and an informant for the U.S. government are the latest suspects identified as part of a sweeping investigation into the killing of President Jovenel Moïse.
The men are among five fugitives who police said are armed and dangerous as they continued Wednesday to track down those suspected in the July 7 pre-dawn attack at Moïseâs private home in which the president was shot to death and his wife, Martine, wounded.
One of the suspects was identified as former Sen. John Joël Joseph, a Haitian politician and opponent of the Tet Kale party that Moïse belonged to. In a video posted last year on YouTube, Joseph compared Moïse to the coronavirus, saying Haitians have died from hunger or been killed amid a spike in violence under his administration.
