The motorcycle was flagged down at a checkpoint but failed to stop.

Joseph then pulled a gun on officers who then shot and killed him, Desrosiers said.

Joseph was Haiti’s most-wanted gang leader before his arrest in 2019.

Frantz Exantus, Haiti’s Communications Secretary, reacting to the incident said;

“Twenty-five people died including six prisoners and Divisional Inspector Paul Hector Joseph who was in charge of the prison,” he said.

“Among those killed were some ordinary citizens who were killed by the prisoners during their escape,” he added.
