On the evening of Friday June 14, 2024, heavily armed members of the "Ti-Bwadòm" Gang operating in Bassin-Bleu, attacked the commune of Terre-Neuve and Lagon (3rd municipal section), with the aim of seizing the territory , sowing destruction, death and terror around them.

In Terre Neuve these individuals took a school principal hostage who they subsequently executed and killed 6 other citizens. In Lagon, the population tried in vain to resist, 5 courageous citizens fell under murderous bullets.

The bandits then paraded on motorcycles from Terre Neuve to Lagon, terrorizing the population with their weapons and burning several houses, according to Joanel Raymond, the interim mayor of the Municipal Commission who recalls that the police station only includes 2 police officers who work alternately.

On Saturday, agents from the Departmental Law Enforcement Unit assigned to Gonaïves attempted to regain control of the situation.

Reacting to this new outbreak of indiscriminate violence, the Democratic and Popular Sector (SDP) "condemns with all its strength the criminal attack of these murderous bandits from the 'Ti-Bwadóm' base against the population of Newfoundland in the department of Artibonite where around 10 people lost their lives and many houses were burned. The SDP expresses its sympathy to the population of Artibonite. [...] These actions show once again the need for the international force to come to the country to help the PNH destroy all the gangs [...]"
