Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was shot dead overnight in an attack at his private residence, interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph said Wednesday.
In a statement, Joseph said an unidentified group of people were responsible for the killing, which he called a "hateful, inhuman and barbaric act."
He also said Moïse's wife, Martine, was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment. Haiti has been experiencing political instability and division as well as a rise in gang violence.
