The United States announced it will send federal law enforcement officers to Haiti as soon as possible to help after the assassination of its president, the White House said on Friday.

Strengthening Haitian capacity for law enforcement remains a key U.S. priority, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said. She noted that officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security will be involved in investigation efforts.

President Jovenel Moïse was shot dead by unidentified attackers at his private residence early Wednesday morning, according to a statement from the country's interim prime minister, Claude Joseph. 

The 53-year-old president's wife, Martine Moïse, was also shot in the attack and was receiving medical treatment, Joseph said.
