Authorities in Haiti arrested a top official who served as general security co-ordinator when President Jovenel Moise was assassinated, his attorney told The Associated Press on Monday.

Jean Laguel Civil joins more than two dozen suspects arrested by Haiti National Police as the investigation continues into the July 7 attack at Moise's private home.

The arrest comes as more than 1,000 demonstrators gathered around one of Haiti's most notorious gang leaders to commemorate Moise. The crowd was mostly dressed in white as they cheered on Jimmy Cherizier, a former police officer who now leads "G9," a federation of nine gangs that officials have blamed for a spike in violence and kidnappings in recent months.

He was wearing a white suit and black tie as he spoke to the crowd at the seaside slum of La Saline in the capital of Port-au-Prince. A nearby truck played music as Cherizier knelt down before a large portrait of Moise and began to light candles.Earlier, the crowd sang as they made a circle around a bonfire and threw salt into it as part of a ceremony to honor Moise. Many had their faces covered so as not to be identified.
