“My heart is broken in a thousand pieces,” Baker wrote on Facebook on Thursday. “I’ve never felt this kind of pain. Most of you know my daughter and son-in-law Davy and Natalie Lloyd are full time missionaries in Haiti. They were attacked by gangs this evening and were both killed. They went to Heaven together.”
Cornett, 22, said her parents run an orphanage, school and church in Haiti, and that she and her brothers grew up with the orphans: “It was just one big happy family there.” She said her brother called the night of the attack, telling the family that three vehicles carrying gang members stopped him, Natalie and Jude Montis as they crossed the street, hitting him in the head with the barrel of a gun. They forced him upstairs, stole their belongings and left him tied up. As people were helping untie him, another group of armed gunmen showed up.
A Facebook posting on the Missions for Haiti page late Thursday read: “Around midnight: Davy and Natalie and Jude were shot and killed by the gang about 9 o’clock this evening. We all are devastated.” The leader of another gang known as General Jeff also controls territory near the neighborhood where the couple was killed. Both gangs are part of a coalition known as Viv Ansanm, which means “Live Together.”
