First injured, the victim was evacuated by a motorcycle Taxi but died on the way. The law enforcement officers proceeded to arrest the presumed murderer but the relatives of the deceased objected to them recovering the body. In response, they fired heavily creating a lot of tension in the center of the town, disrupting traffic and socio-economic activities.
It should be noted that for some time, armed bandits have been established in Pétion-ville, as in other places in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area.
