PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) 鈥 Authorities in Haiti have identified new suspects in the July 2021 killing of President Jovenel Mo茂se, including a pastor and a well-known gang leader.
Police spokesman Garry Desrosiers said in an interview Friday with Radio T茅l茅vision Cara茂bes that warrants also have been issued for eight police officers.
None of the new suspects have been arrested, and it wasn鈥檛 clear what alleged roles they might have played.
Desrosiers identified the gang leader as Vitel鈥橦omme Innocent, leader of the Kraze Barye gang, which roughly translates to 鈥渂reaking barriers.鈥 He is also sought by the FBI, which accused him of helping kidnap 17 U.S. missionaries in October 2021.
Desrosiers did not provide further details, and he did not immediately return a message for comment.
Before the new arrest warrants were announced, more than 40 suspects had been detained in the case, including at least 18 Colombian ex-soldiers accused of raiding Mo茂se鈥檚 private residence in an attack that injured his wife.
Another 11 suspects are in U.S. custody, including a former Haitian senator and other key players.
