Two men believed to be Haitian Americans — one of them purportedly a former bodyguard at the Canadian Embassy in Port-au-Prince — have been arrested in connection with the assassination of Haiti's president, Haitian officials said Thursday.

James Solages and Joseph Vincent were among 17 suspects detained in the brazen killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse by gunmen at his home in the pre-dawn hours Wednesday. Fifteen of them are from Colombia, according to Leon Charles, chief of Haiti's National Police.

He added that three other suspects were killed by police and eight others are on the run. Charles had earlier said seven were killed.

Late Thursday, Colombia's government said six of the suspects in Haiti, including two of those killed, were retired members of Colombia's army, though it didn't release their identities.
