A robust operation, conducted by specialized units of the Haitian National Police (PNH), resulted in the elimination of a powerful gang leader.
On the morning of Sunday, August 11, the formidable gang leader known as Ti Kolòn was mortally wounded during a police intervention in downtown Port-au-Prince. This operation was part of the task force actions coordinated for several months by the Prime Minister's Office.
Several members of his gang, who were accompanying him, were quickly spotted and neutralized by a kamikaze drone as they were preparing to act.
Ti Kolòn, responsible for deploying and positioning his men on strategic axes in the city center, held a key position within the criminal organization Viv Ansanm, which reportedly controls nearly 90% of the metropolitan area's territory.
According to the latest information, the drone explosion, which reportedly caused the death of Ti Kolòn and about fifteen of his men, also allegedly decapitated and incinerated the gang leader's body. Sources indicate that his remains were reportedly quickly recovered by other members of his organization.
