Journalist Jean Brunet Bontemps and photojournalist Jean-Marc Stevenson Ysemai passed away last Friday [May 1] in Port-au-Prince, and on Monday [May 4] in the city of Les Cayes (south), respectively.
Brunet Bontemps, who worked for years as a sports commentator for Radio Energie, died in a hospital after being shot multiple times on the porch of his home, not far from the Sylvio Cator football stadium in downtown Port-au-Prince.

Meanwhile, sports photojournalist Stevenson Ysemai was found dead in the locality of Ravine du Sud, in Les Cayes—in the southern part of the country—two days after his disappearance, which occurred on the afternoon of May 1 in that city."
