A missionary group in Haiti's capital, run by Missions in Haiti, was attacked by local gangs, resulting in the deaths of two Americans and the organization's Haitian director. The victims were identified as David Lloyd III, his wife Natalie Lloyd, and Jude Montis. The attack occurred in a neighborhood controlled by two local gangs, and the victims were ambushed by armed men. The situation escalated, leading to the tragic deaths of the missionaries. The incident reflects the escalating gang violence in Haiti, which has been exacerbated by political instability and the aftermath of President Jovenel Moïse's assassination in 2021. The country is currently grappling with a surge in gang-related violence, with over 2,500 casualties reported in the first three months of 2024. The Haitian government has faced significant challenges in addressing the widespread gang assaults, prompting international assistance in the form of a multinational police and military deployment.
