Reuters —A Kenyan official who had been in Washington for talks on a planned international security force to help Haitian police fight gangs was found dead in his hotel room this week, police in the US capital said on Thursday. Washington police said they found 39-year-old Nyamato Walter unconscious in a hotel room in downtown Washington on Tuesday morning, and pronounced him dead at the scene. No deployment date has been set, and the United Nations has yet to publish details of a fund set up to gather contributions from member states. Some other African and Caribbean countries have also pledged support, while the United States has offered funds. Heavily-armed gangs have since grown in strength and are now estimated to control most of the capital, Port-au-Prince.

A welder by trade, Schwartz was arrested in early February in his hometown of Uniontown, Pennsylvania.

The US Capitol Building was vandalized one year ago today during a riot by supporters of President Donald Trump. Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick also died a day later after sustaining injuries from rioters.
