4 more suspects in Haiti president’s slaying are in U.S. custody

LA Times  

Suspects in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise, including Haitian Americans James Solages, far left, and Joseph Vincent, second from left, are shown to the media in Port-au-Prince in July 2021. Four key suspects in the killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moise were transferred to the United States for prosecution as the case stagnates in Haiti amid death threats that have spooked local judges, U.S. officials announced Tuesday. The suspects in U.S. government custody include James Solages, 37, and Joseph Vincent, 57, two Haitian Americans who were among the first arrested after Moise was shot 12 times at his private residence near the capital, Port-au-Prince, on July, 7 2021. Court documents state that exactly two months before Moise was killed, Vincent texted Solages a video of a cat “reacting alertly” to the sound of gunfire and that Solages laughed, prompting Vincent to respond: “That’s the way Jovenel will be pretty much, but if you guys really up to it!” The document states that Solages responded that “ cat will never come back,” and “trust me brother, we definitely working our final decision.” Then in June, about 20 former Colombian soldiers were recruited to supposedly help arrest the president and protect Sanon, who envisioned himself as Haiti’s new leader.
