He was shot while grazing his cattle at Regisuma Grazing Field, which is located along the common boundary.

His grandchild, who was also present, was shot in the thighs and was rushed to Migori County Referral Hospital in critical condition.

There has been tension among the communities in the area and at times it escalates to killings, injuries and stealing of livestock.
