In July 2022, an outbreak of gang violence occurred in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, leaving 89 people dead and over 74 injured.
[3] The 2022 battles began after tensions erupted between G9 and a new rival gang, G-pep, as an example is the outbreak of violence which occurred in the month of May, which left 150 dead and hundreds wounded.
[6] Just a day after the one-year anniversary of Moise's assassination on July 7, shooting began around 3 a.m. in the Brooklyn neighborhood of the Cité Soleil slum between G9 and G-Pèp gang members.
[2][7] Some Haitian police officers were present at the scene, but many were not working as they had not been paid for one month, and others lacked fuel for their vehicles.
Initially, deputy mayor Jean Hislain Frederick stated that 50 were killed in the violence and over 50 injured, but that number has since increased, according to the National Human Rights Defense Network.
