Haiti - FLASH : A Haitian killed by a Dominican military patrol
19/01/2016 09:44:14

Monday, a Haitian was killed when a Dominican military patrol opened fire on a vehicle carrying a group of supposedly undocumented persons from Haiti, according to the first statements of the Dominican military authorities.

Clerius Filemón, 33, of Haitian origin died and another immigrant was injured in the shooting, which occurred near the town of Guayubín, 250 kilometers northwest of Santo Domingo.

According to the military statement, members of a military patrol in charge of monitoring the border road with Haiti to prevent the entry of illegal Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic, would have fired on the vehicle after the driver refused to stop to be controlled.

Major General of the Army José Matos told the press that he had ordered an investigation to determine the exact circumstances in which the incident occurred and determine responsibilities.
