In an official statement, the Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training (MENFP) announced on Friday, August 22, 2025, that it has taken precautionary measures against security agents involved in the tragedy that led to the death of student Zamy Wanderson. This decision aims to allow the ongoing investigation to proceed transparently.

In its 'Upcoming Event' section, Le Relief questioned whether public action had been initiated and the current status of the suspect.

The MENFP indicates that the fifteen (15) agents present on site at the time of the tragedy, along with their service weapons, have been handed over to the competent judicial and police authorities.

The ministry, while extending its 'heartfelt condolences' to the victim's family, his classmates, and the entire educational community, affirms that it will 'very closely' follow the investigation's progress to ensure that full light is shed on this tragedy.

Zamy Wanderson, 19, was killed on Monday, August 18, in Delmas 83, in front of the Ministry of National Education premises. According to witnesses, the shot came from a security agent attempting to disperse a demonstration of angry trainee teachers.

This tragedy has sparked numerous reactions and deeply affected young Haitians. On Thursday, August 21, thousands of people, mostly young people, demonstrated in the streets of Delmas to demand justice for Wanderson. Carrying placards bearing the image of the high school graduate, the demonstrators did not hide their anger and distress.
