In a horrific attack, the Gran Grif gang descended upon the small town of Pont-Sondé in central Haiti, resulting in the deaths of over 70 individuals. The gang, armed with knives and assault rifles, targeted residents as they slept, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake.
The motive behind the massacre stemmed from the gang's displeasure with a self-defense group attempting to curb their activities and prevent them from profiting off a toll they had imposed on a nearby road. The brutal assault saw men, women, children, and entire families brutally murdered, with survivors left grappling with the trauma and loss.
