Many in the Haitian community here in Rockland are in shock following yesterday’s assassination of the country’s president, Jovenel Moïse in a gun attack at his home outside Port-au-Prince early Wednesday morning. Seema Roc is the president and host of the Panic Radio Show here on WRCR which focuses on Haitian culture. Roc says she and other journalists got to meet president Moïse a few years ago on a trip to Haiti…
Published reports said four of the president’s suspected assassins, who allegedly tried to disguise themselves as U.S. DEA agents, were killed by police last night, and two others were arrested. Haiti’s ambassador to the United States said Moïse’s wife, Martine, was in critical but stable condition after the attack in their home by a group of unidentified gunmen. She was taken to Miami for treatment.
