BROOKLYN — In traditional Haitian enclaves, reactions to the investigation into the murder of Jovenel Moïse vary, ranging from belief in conspiracy theories to incredulity. But, a year later, nearly everyone seems to share some despair about what it means for the country’s future.

On more than one occasion, the question caused faces to tighten into stern expressions, or drew laughter. Many continued walking by without saying a word. 

Uh oh, it looks like you’ve hit a paywall! But don’t worry; we’ve got you covered. Here are a few ways you can access this story.
