News Americas, PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Thurs. July 8, 2021: Haitian Prime Minister Claude Joseph has declared a state of siege following the assassination of the 53-year-old President and declared a two-week state of emergency as Haitian security forces began investigating the murder. He also announced the launch of a manhunt for the killers as authorities in the country said the gunmen spoke English and Spanish, and appeared to include foreigners. Haiti’s President Jovenel Moise was assassinated and his wife wounded early July 7, 2021 in an attack at their home at 1 a.m. on July 7, 2021.
