Edaire Louis, the owner of Bonga-Lo African Haitian Cuisine and Market, is trying to bring his son to Rochester from Haiti as gang violence continues to dominate life in the country.

"I miss my mom," said Louis. "I miss my father.

Edaire and his family live hours away from the Port-au-Prince, which is largely under siege, but the impact of the violence as reverberated across Haiti.
