A protester, Gilbert Merzier, was shot dead in the downtown area of the city of Les Roseaux. Residents of the city were protesting against the government of Ariel Henry, demanding his resignation from the helm of state affairs. Early this Monday morning, they placed burning tires, trucks, and anything they could find on the road, creating barricades blocking the main artery of the city, National Route #7. According to witnesses, this incident occurred when armed police, hostile to the demonstration, fired towards the crowd.
