"Haiti's Vigilante Justice: Battling Gangs in the Midst of Crisis"

Two suspected Haitian gang members were killed and set on fire in Pétion-Ville, possibly as an act of vigilante justice against the armed groups terrorizing the area. The killings occurred amidst a surge in gang violence, with at least 15 people reported dead in attacks around the suburb of Port-au-Prince. Locals engaged in a shootout, resulting in the deaths of the suspected gang members, one of whom also had their family home set on fire. The U.S. State Department facilitated the evacuation of over 15 American citizens from Port-au-Prince amid the escalating violence.
