Man shot dead by unknown assailant in Eastleigh, CCTV captures the daylight murder

Abdirahim Abdullahi Ibrahim, 25, was meeting his girlfriend on Saturday night in one of the streets in Eastleigh when an unknown assailant approached them and pulled the trigger at point blank.

In the CCTV footage seen by Citizen Digital, the assailant is seen shooting at the deceased in close range.

According to his family who spoke to Citizen Digital, Abdirahim was shot just below the ear, with the bullet exiting on the other side of the head. 

The assailant then made away with his phone, leaving the lady she was meeting stranded on the scene. 

According to the family, Abdirahim had been seeing the lady who works in one of the restaurants in Eastleigh as a waitress, and the two had decided to meet on Saturday night when the incident happened.

The lady reported the matter to the Shauri Moyo Police Station, with the family also reporting the incident to the same police station. 

A postmortem conducted at the City Mortuary with the request of the Shauri Moyo detectives revealed that Abdirahim died due to excessive blood loss following a gunshot wound to the neck. 

The deceased will be laid to rest on Sunday at the Lang'ata Cemetery in Nairobi as his family calls for quick action from the police. 

The assailant was captured on CCTV and the family hopes police will use it to find him.

The incident comes days after a family of three was brutally murdered by a suspect who has since been placed in police custody. 

The suspect, Hashim Dagane Muhumed, 24, is believed to have killed a mother, her daughter and niece, and later killed a lady in a rented apartment in Lavington.
