Alfred Mones

Function: Wharf Jérémie gang leader

Nationality: Haitian

Gender: male

Address: Neighbourhood of Wharf Jérémie, near La Saline, Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Micanor Altès is the leader of the Wharf Jérémie gang. Wharf Jérémie is a coastal neighbourhood in the La Saline area of Port-au-Prince. This zone has been under the control of the gang led by Micanor Altès for over a decade.

Under his command, the gang is responsible for the massacre of 207 people between 6 and 11 December 2024 in the Wharf Jérémie district. The massacre occurred after the death of Altès’ newborn son from an unknown illness. Convinced that elderly Voodoo practitioners in the area under his control had cast a spell on his child, the gang leader ordered the execution of all inhabitants over 60 practicing Voodoo, after kidnapping them.

Micanor Altès is therefore responsible for actions that threaten peace, stability and security in Haïti, including engaging in criminal activities and violence involving armed groups and criminal networks.
