Following the shooting of police officer Nathanielle Médjine Michel, Agent 2, on Wednesday morning, August 28, 2024 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-43092-haiti-news-zapping.html , the Police of the Jurisdiction of Delmas arrested police officer Jean Andersen Cantave, Agent 2, assigned to the Departmental Unit for Maintaining Order (UDMO West-1) and his wife Nathalie Michel, sister of the victim, for their alleged involvement in this crime. A family conflict related to the sale of a property is believed to be the cause of this assassination, according to the police.

Let's recall that on the point of going to her work location at the Delmas 75 Police Station, policewoman Nathanielle Médjine Michel, from the 28th promotion of the PNH, was attacked, in the Cassagnol 20 area, by an individual traveling in a white Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle with a red bar. According to the report of the incident, policewoman Nathanielle Médjine Michel received several projectiles at her body level and no less than 13 bullet impacts were noted on her vehicle.

In this painful and distressing circumstance, the General Directorate of the National Police of Haiti (DGPNH) sends its sincere sympathies to the grieving families, police officers, relatives and friends of the victim, as well as to the large police family affected by this bereavement.

The PNH promises that this crime will not go unpunished and announces the opening of a thorough investigation by the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ).
