A 67-year-old man named Alfayo Misuko Aremba was fatally shot at his home in Nyamira village on Tuesday night. The attack occurred around 11pm and was carried out by unknown assailants who entered Aremba's homestead in Ekenawa Village, Ikonge Sub-Location, Nyamira County. The attackers opened fire at close range, shooting Aremba three times in the hip joint with what is believed to be an AK-47 rifle.

Neighbors immediately rushed the victim to Ekerenyo Sub-County Hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries upon arrival. Police investigators determined that Aremba died from excessive blood loss caused by the gunshot wounds. No apparent motive has been established at this time, though a history of family disputes involving Aremba's relatives is under investigation.

Three 7.62x39mm caliber cartridges were recovered from the scene. The body was transported to Our Lady of Mercy Ibaara Hospital mortuary for preservation while authorities work to identify the perpetrator(s) and piece together the events leading up to the shooting.
