Haiti’s National Police (PNH) announced a series of “non-stop operations” targeting the armed gangs’ home bases.

PNH spokesperson Lionel Lazarre says specialized police units launched operations in the Port-au-Prince neighborhoods of Solino, Nazon, Pòsmachan and Channmas to root out gang members.

Police say gangster Kendy, also known as “Jeff Mafia,” was killed during an operation in Pòsmachan. Kendy is the right-hand man to notorious gang leader Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier.
