Tensions continue to flare between Haitian government officials and supporters, and opposition forces when Haitian Police fired tear gas into crowds of opposition supporters who burned tires and blocked streets yesterday, protesting the killing of Amiot Metayer.

Amiot Metayer was arrested for arson on May 21 related to a gang attack in Gonaives. He managed to escape from prison in August and reportedly went back to Gonaives to finish protesting against anti-Aristide supporters. but his bullet-riddled body was found dumped on a sidestreet Monday night. He was shot once through each eye and once through the heart.

Metayer, was a longtime supporter of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and leader of the "Cannibal Army".

Some saw Metayer as a thug whose “Cannibal Army” gang allegedly terrorized government opponents and rivals. Some saw him as a Robin Hood who took care of those who are impoverished and living in the ghettos and slums.

The Organization of American States reports that Metayer participated in other attacks against Aristide's opponents, namely a 17th December attack on politician Luc Mesadieu Gonaives’s home. Mesadieu said he saw Metayer initiate the order to kill his personal assistant Ramy Daran, who was subsequently doused with petrol (gasoline) and burned to death. 20 houses were also set ablaze.

Metayer wasn’t captured as police didn’t want to attack his home base of Raboteau, fearing a violent confrontation. His arrest warrant was thrown out of court based on no evidence.
