Haitian Police Arrest Suspect in Missionary Shootings

Haitian police have arrested a 52-year-old suspect in connection with the fatal shootings of U.S. missionaries Davy and Natalie Lloyd, and Jude Montis, the director of Missions in Haiti Inc. The killings, which occurred on May 23 in northern Port-au-Prince, were attributed to rampant gang violence overtaking the city. The suspect, who denies involvement, is seen in a video shared by the National Police, though formal charges have not been confirmed. David Lloyd, father of Davy, recounted his son’s final call describing the attack, which included forced entry and looting by the gang. Missouri State Representative Ben Baker, father of Natalie Lloyd, expressed a desire for justice and acknowledged the arrest cautiously. High-profile arrests are rare in Haiti, where gang control is pervasive.
