Spokesman Garry Desrosier described the killing as an apparent "execution." Desrosier said yesterday that the gunman was waiting for the 34-year-old victim as he left an upscale restaurant in the Petionville area of the capital.
The victim was shot about 20 times and died at the scene Saturday night. A security guard was also wounded. There were no arrests and the motive was unknown.
Desrosier identified the man as Benjamin R. Craft and said he was apparently Haitian-American. His hometown in the US was not available.
