On February 23, 2022, Maximilien Lazard, who worked for Haitian media group Roi des Infos, was shot by Haitian police. Lazard was reporting on a demonstration in the capital Port-au-Prince, where hundreds of Haitians gathered to call for a higher minimum wage than the government approved earlier that week. A passing police vehicle fired at protesters and hit Lazard, who succumbed to his wounds at a hospital later that day. Two other journalists were shot and wounded at the scene.
