Par exemple, le 30 novembre 2023, Luckson Elan a tué une femme qui avait refusé d'avoir des relations sexuelles avec lui. En avril 2024, le gang Gran Grif s'est rendu coupable d'attaques contre le pouvoir judiciaire en tuant deux avocats.Entre octobre 2023 et janvier 2024, le gang Gran Grif a enlevé cent cinquante-sept personnes dans le cadre de neuf enlèvements de masse.

Luckson Elan, leader of the Gran Grif gang, has long been involved in activities that threaten the peace, security, and stability of Haiti, as well as the entire region. His gang is the largest and most powerful in the Artibonite Department and has been expanding its territorial control, committing human rights abuses, and trafficking weapons and ammunition. On February 8, 2023, members of the Coalition of Jean Denis self-defense group intercepted a vehicle coming from Port-au-Prince which was carrying several crates of arms and ammunition destined for the Gran Grif gang (see OHCHR report, “Criminal Violence Extends beyond Port-au-Prince,” Nov 2023).
