The bi-national market, which takes place every Monday at the Dominican-Haitian border in Dajabon, will be closed today, after the fatal shooting of a Dominican man by a Haitian national.
El Caribe reports that Haitians are protesting through the legal mechanisms in their country, while UN MINUSTAH guards have been patrolling the area near the border towns. Conflicts have been brewing since last week and there were reports of physical altercations last Friday between Dominicans and Haitians who were trying to sell their goods.
These incidents resulted in the death of 23-year old Carlos Espinal Jimenez. Destine Wilson (Chipa) was one of the men arrested in connection with last week's attacks, but Haitian authorities in the town of Ouanaminthe say that he will not be released because he was arrested in Haitian territory and has pending legal issues in the country.
The reason for the killing is suspected to be that the Haitian attacked the Dominican to steal his motorcycle, according to Hoy. The Haitian, Destine Wilson, is under arrest at the Ouanaminthe police station.
