Heavily armed individuals terrorized the Séguin neighborhood, located in the hills above Pétion-Ville at the entrance to the Commune of Jacmel, early Tuesday morning, April 14, 2026, around 4:00 AM.
According to testimonies gathered from residents, the assailants targeted the local police station, which they set ablaze after storming it. A police vehicle present at the scene was also destroyed by fire. Six people were killed by the criminals in the armed attack against the civilian population.
According to residents, the police officers assigned to the station abandoned their positions in the face of the bandits' assault, leaving the area open to the attackers.
