One suspect of robbery with violence was last night gunned down in a shootout with police based at Nairobi’s Kasarani area after his gang was ambushed robbing a female victim.
Police on patrol at Zimmerman’s Rurii area responded to the 7pm distress call from the victim, who was pleading for her life as a pack of thugs frisked her of her belongings at gun point.
Realizing that police were on sight, other gang members who were armed with assorted crude weapons scooted off on their heels, as their accomplice engaged the officers in a gun battle.
Whereas the victim was rescued and escorted to safety, the suspect was fatally injured.From him, police recovered an American colt pistol loaded with two rounds of ammunition, & two Samsung phones believed to have been stolen from other victims.
Meanwhile, the pistol has been forwarded to DCI’s Ballistic Unit for analysis, as search for the suspects who escaped and similar gangs lurking in the shadows to harm locals in the area is ongoing.
