On May 9, 2020, detectives from Dagoreti were hot on the trail of a three-man gang suspected of a robbery with violence incident on May 6, 2020.
The gang allegedly robbed a 61-year-old man at gunpoint while he was walking along Tendy Drive near St Augustine Lavington around 5:30pm.
Acting on a tip-off from members of the public, detectives trailed the gang to Malenga Road near Mountain View Estate in Kangemi, where they were intercepted and ordered to surrender.
However, one of the gang members, who had a pistol, opened fire on the detectives, leading to a fatal response.
‘A response to his fire left him fatally injured, while the other two escaped but are being sought,’ DCI tweeted.
The detectives recovered the pistol, and the vehicle is in police custody as a manhunt for the two suspects continues.
