Sunday, July 24, in the locality of Meyer in the commune of Croix-des-Bouquets, heavily armed individuals, members of the "400 Mawozo" gang, entered around noon in the enclosure of the Assembly of God church, shortly after the cult and coldly executed police inspector Réginald Laleau (45) of the 14th promotion.

Carrying the body of their victim, these individuals fled without being worried, in a black Toyota Land Cruiser "Zo Reken" with which they had arrived.

Let's recall that Joseph Wilson alias "Lanmò San jou" the Chief of "400 Mawoso" had threatened to kill the police officers of one of the armored vehicles of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) nicknamed by the bandits "Men lap fe san", which patrols gang-controlled territories. Threat carried out.

During the afternoon, there were several "clashes" and exchanges of fire between the police and men of "400 Mawozo", causing many panic movements in the population.

Policeman Laleau joins the list of 25 of his colleagues killed by assassination bullets during operations against gangs or coldly executed between January and June 2022, according to Lionel Lazarre, Coordinator of the National Union of Haitian Police Officers (SYNAPOHA).
