PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Hundreds of people in Haiti are mourning the death of Judes Montis, a mission director killed by gang members who also fatally shot a U.S. couple that worked with him. Wails filled a crowded church on Tuesday as tears streamed down the face of Montis’ wife. The service also honored the lives of Davy and Natalie Lloyd, a married couple in their early 20s who was with Montis when gunmen ambushed them on Thursday night as they left a youth group activity held at a local church. Montis was 47 years old. He leaves behind a wife; two children, ages 2 and 6; and a brother.
