A woman who lives near Haitian President Jovenel Moïse said she heard the assassination early Wednesday morning, and thought the gunfire was an earthquake.
"I thought there was an earthquake, there was so much shooting," the woman, who remained anonymous to protect her identity, told the Associated Press. "The president had problems with many people, but this is not how we expected him to die. This is something I wouldn't wish on any Haitian."
Moïse was killed early Wednesday morning in an assassination at his home, by a group of unknown assailants, Haitian Prime Minister Claude Joseph said in a Wednesday statement.
Joseph said the first lady, Martine Moïse, was also injured in the attack.
