True. According to the Haitian Times, the claim is true. The newspaper stated that "Many Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, are feeling physically unsafe as racist falsehoods spread online and offline. Meanwhile, the parents of a child killed last year by a Haitian immigrant said politicians like Trump should stop using their son for political gain." It is worth noting that one Haitian resident interviewed said he was looking to relocate out of Springfield.
