PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A high-ranking official with Haiti’s National Office of Migration was killed Wednesday in the north coastal city of Cap-Haitien.

Kerwin Augustin, a regional representative who oversaw Haiti’s northern region, was shot near his house and died at a hospital, according to a reporter from Radio Caraïbes who was at the scene.

The radio reported that Augustin was shot by unidentified people aboard a motorcycle. It wasn’t immediately clear why he was killed.

No one has been arrested.

High-profile killings are unusual in Cap-Haitien, which is relatively safe compared with the capital, Port-au-Prince, which is largely controlled by gangs.
