A man who was shot dead in broad daylight on Tuesday along Mirema Drive is suspected of being a fraudster, police have said.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), who are investigating the case, said that they found several identity cards and money placed inside six wallets in the deceased man’s vehicle.
The man was also found with phones and laptops which are believed to have been stolen from members of the public.
Kasarani police boss Peter Mwanzo told Nairobi News that the man was possibly killed in a deal gone sour.
“It is difficult to comprehend how heartless human beings can be. Whether it is vengeance or any other reason, it is really impossible to comprehend because nothing was stolen from him,” Mwanzo said.
Mwanzo further said the deceased man is also suspected to be behind several incidents where members of the public have been stupefied within the city.
One of the ID cards that were recovered from the car belongs to a woman who had reported that he lost Sh200,000 after she was drugged at an entertainment joint.
“So far we have the phone numbers of the getaway vehicle in which the murder suspects were in and we shall get up with them,” Mr Mwanzo said.
A 45-minutes CCTV footage seen by Nairobi News captured how a man who was wearing a cap approached the vehicle and shot the driver several times.
Also recorded in the footage is a woman running for dear life as gunshots rent the air.
The motor vehicle which the deceased was driving is currently at Kasarani Police Station and is registered with details of a different person.
Already, police have questioned the owner of the car, a CRV Honda and is currently assisting the police with the investigations.
