PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The remaining members of a missionary group who were kidnapped 2 months ago have been freed, Haitian police & the group said Thursday.
The spokesman for Haiti’s National Police, Gary Desrosiers, confirmed that the remaining hostages had been released.
“We glorify God for answered prayer — the remaining 12 hostages are FREE!” Christian Aid Ministries said in a statement. “Join us in praising God that all 17 of our loved ones are now safe.”
The Ohio group said it hopes to provide more information later.
“We’re feeling great,” said Ron Marks, minister at Hart Dunkard Brethren Church in Michigan, whose members included some of the hostages.
Carleton Horst, a member of Hart Dunkard Brethren Church in Hart, Michigan, where five of the hostages are members, said church members received a text message Thursday morning from “someone connected to the situation” that all of the hostages had been released.
A mother & 4 of her children who belong to the congregation were among the hostages. Horst, who is friends with the family, said the church is rejoicing & he’s “elated that that portion of things is finally over, just praise the Lord for that.”
The missionaries were kidnapped by the 400 Mawozo gang on Oct. 16. There were 5 children in the group of 16 U.S. citizens & 1 Canadian, including an 8-month-old. Their Haitian driver also was abducted, according to a local human rights organization.
Two of the hostages were released in November & 3 more earlier this month. They were not identified, but members of the Hart congregation told local media in Michigan two were from Hart.
In addition to Michigan, the hostages are from Wisconsin, Ohio, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Oregon & Ontario, Canada.
“Today is the day we have been hoping for, praying for & working so hard to achieve,” said Congressman Bill Huizenga, whose western Michigan congressional district includes Hart. “I want to thank members of the hostage negotiation team for their diligence in securing the safe release of all the hostages. This is a great day for families in Michigan & across the nation who have been worried about the safety of their loved ones.”
The leader of the 400 Mawozo gang had threatened to kill the hostages unless his demands were met. Authorities have said the gang was demanding $1 million per person, although it wasn’t clear if that included the children.
It remained unclear Thursday whether any ransom was paid or what efforts led to their freedom.
Slim 400 -- an up and coming rapper in the California hip hop scene -- has been shot and killed in L.A. ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Slim was gunned down Wednesday night in Inglewood. It's currently unclear what led to the shooting and how many suspects were involved.
Born to military parents in Germany, Slim moved back to Los Angeles as a young child and was raised in Compton. The rapper was later discovered and signed by the now nonexistent Pu$haz Ink music label -- the same one made popular by YG and DJ Mustard.
Slim narrowly escaped death back in the summer of 2019 when he was shot 9 times in L.A. Slim claimed he was ambushed in the attack while visiting family in Compton.
