4 Shot Dead Near Police Station
On Sunday, the residents of Nairobi County’s Buruburu Phase 5 Estate heard gunfire and found out later that four people had died.Locals claim that the four guys were shot and killed, and their car was showered with bullets, just before three in the morning. One resident’s second vehicle was also damaged, and he was left to foot the bill.
“At around 2.30 am, I received a call and I was told that my car had been shot at. I went to inspect and saw it had been damaged by bullets,” the owner stated.
The early morning shootout occurred near Buruburu Police Station. Reports indicate that the shootout was initiated by unidentified gunmen.Reportedly, the deceased were travelling in a Suzuki Swift when they were followed by armed men in a Toyota Prado who opened fire.Police have since launched investigations into the matter. The officers also recovered an identity card and two daggers from the vehicle belonging to the deceased.
The bodies were moved to City Mortuary after the tragedy so they could be identified.Locals flocked to the scene to learn what had happened before police arrived. At this point, they discovered the victims, covered in pools of blood, splayed out on the ground close to the automobile.
The driver was shot in the head, killing him in his seat and causing his upper torso to fall over the passenger seat, symbolizing the violent nature of the murder. It looked like the man in the front passenger seat tried to get out before he got shot in the head.The others, who appeared to have tried to run away as well, were shot. Their bodies were found near the car, their doors ajar, laying next to each other.
The witnesses prevented anyone trying to enter the site as they waited for the police to show up, especially those who seemed to have plans to gather objects from the car and come into contact with the bodies. Some Kenyans, however, were incensed at the police’s sluggish handling of the situation and questioned why the remains remained at the scene hours after the shooting.
