One of the two victims of the Kitengela shooting incident in a club succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
Kevin Maseri died on Thursday morning after being transferred from Kajiado Referral Hospital to Metropolitan Hospital when his condition deteriorated, police said.
His family called on Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen to intervene and ensure speedy investigations and arrest of the police officers behind the shooting.
Police confirmed they are in possession of three firearms that were allegedly used during the Sunday January 25, 2026 incident at the club.
The victim was shot alongside his cousin in a shooting drama that emanated from the club, witnesses said.
The body of the late Kevin was moved to the Kitengela Sub-County Hospital funeral home at around 1pm.
He had been admitted at Kajiado Referral Hospital before being moved to Metropolitan Hospital when he succumbed.
The late Kevin and his cousin Joseph Musondu sustained gunshot wounds after an altercation with police officers including a senior DCI officer at an entertainment joint in Kitengela town.
Musondu who was shot in the abdomen is in stable condition and under treatment at Kajiado Referral Hospital.
Kajiado Police Commander Alex Shikondi said three persons of interest in the case had surrendered their firearms to the police.
Out of the three, two firearms belong to police officers while one pistol belongs to a civilian who is a licensed firearm holder.
“The exhibits have been taken to our forensic lab for examination, including three rifles and some cartridges,” said Shikondi.
Shikondi said the probe is also being conducted independently by Internal Affairs Unit and IPOA.
The police commander said those involved in the shooting will be held to account.
“When we get results from the forensics lab, we get the postmortem report then an opinion will be formed who was responsible for the shooting,” Shikondi stated.
He said they will decide if murder charges will hold in the incident.
Six suspects and four witnesses have so far recorded statements with police.
Police have also acquired CCTV footage of the dramatic incident which is key in unraveling the truth.
The deceased family confirmed that Kevin sustained two gunshot wounds.
He was shot from behind, one bullet entered through the back and exited through the stomach.
It reportedly ruptured one kidney, pancreas and small intestines. The other bullet hit the scalp.
Daniel Kachori, the family lawyer, said they will push for justice in the case.
