At least three Haitian police officers were killed in the capital by the Ti-Makak gang, who then circulated the images on social media.
Police officers of the anti-gang unit conducted an operation in the area where the armed group operates and then the gang members kidnapped at least one of the dead and took the weapons.
In the same region south of Port-au-Prince, two journalists were killed last January and former senator Yvon Buissereth, whose body was burned along with an escort.
The armed group gained notoriety last year when citizens began using the area where they are based to reach the southern departments after other gangs blocked access through Martissant.
The killing occurred during nationwide protests against the fuel price hike announced by Prime Minister Ariel Henry on September 12.
According to the head of the government, the state should stop subsidizing fuel to finance social programs for the most vulnerable.
However, this reasoning did not convince hundreds of citizens who took to the streets and blocked the capital.
Haiti’s crisis has worsened since the assassination of President Jovenel Moise last year.
The crime remains unsolved.
The institutional crisis caused by the killing has been exacerbated by an increase in violence, hundreds of deaths and kidnappings of victims at the hands of armed gangs, economic recession and uncontrolled migration.
