HAITI – Authorities in Haiti say they have identified new suspects in the July 2021 killing of President Jovenel Moïse, including a pastor and a well-known gang leader.

Police spokesman Garry Desrosiers said in an interview Friday that warrants also have been issued for eight police officers.

He says none of the new suspects have been arrested, and it wasn’t clear what alleged roles they might have played.

Desrosiers identified the gang leader as Vitel’Homme Innocent, leader of the Kraze Barye Gang, which roughly translates to “Breaking barriers.”

He is also sought by the FBI, which accused him of helping kidnap 17 U.S. missionaries in October 2021.

Another 11 suspects are in U.S. custody, including a former Haitian senator and other key players.
