Police in Haiti are battling a powerful gang coalition as it seeks to seize control of the district of Solino, one of the few areas in Port-au-Prince not yet dominated by criminal factions. Since Thursday, the neighborhood has come under attack, with residents fleeing their homes and calling for help through radio stations.

The second-in-command of the Kraze Baryè gang was shot in Torcelle, a community the gang controls in the southeast region of Port-au-Prince, the capital.
