17 people have been arrested in connection with the killing.

Haiti has asked the United Nations to send troops to restore security following the assassination of the country's president.

Jovenel Moise was shot dead in his home earlier this week.

A letter from the interim prime minister says forces are needed to secure the nation's ports, airports and oil supplies.

17 people have been arrested in connection with the assassination.

Haiti’s interim government says that it asked the U.S. to deploy troops to protect key infrastructure as it tries to stabilize the country and prepare the way for elections in the aftermath of President Jovenel Moïse’s assassination. https://t.co/CqHJhEIS1g
