On Sunday morning in the Kilimani area of Nairobi, police shot and killed two individuals believed to be engaged in robbery, recovering a handgun, a machete, mobile phones, and a motorcycle from the scene.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reported that officers on patrol along Tigoni Road, close to a Naivas store, encountered the three-member gang in the midst of committing their crime.
During the subsequent exchange of gunfire, two of the alleged robbers were “permanently incapacitated,” while the third fled with injuries from gunfire, according to police officials.
“After the incident, two individuals who had previously fallen victim to the thieves successfully identified them among the recovered items,” the DCI stated.
Efforts are currently underway to locate the suspect who fled.
