An alleged leading gang member wanted by both the Haitian National Police and the French authorities for serious crimes died Wednesday morning after he opened fire on forces trying to detain him, according to the UN Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH)
Charles Junior, also known as “Yoyo Piman,” who was wanted on national and international warrants for murder, kidnapping and criminal conspiracy, resisted arrest during the early morning operation in the notorious Cité Soleil neighborhood of the capital, Port au Prince.
The suspect, alleged to be the second-in-command of the Amaral gang, opened fire on UN soldiers as UN police sought to detain him.
The UN force called on him to cease firing and then fired in the air when he ignored their demand, before responding in legitimate self-defence.
