A spokesman for Wyclef Jean says the hip-hop star has been released from a hospital after being treated for a gunshot wound.
Joe Mignon, senior program director for Jean's Yele Foundation, says Jean was shot in the hand after 11 p.m. local time Saturday in the city of Delmas, just outside Port-au-Prince.
Jean's brother, Samuel, confirmed the musician was shot. Neither he nor Mignon had additional details. It is unclear who the gunman was.
The shooting comes on the eve of presidential elections in Haiti. Jean is supporting fellow musician Michel Martelly.
The American-Haitian singer's own bid for president ended with an August disqualification.
Haiti's voters are due to go to the ballot box later today to pick a president to lead their country where anger with the government runs deep and nearly a million people are living on the streets after last year's crippling earthquake.
