According to Mombasa County Police Commander Stella Jerono, the youths were shot by members of the Governor's security detail as the situation escalated. The youths were initially taken to Mikindani Hospital before being transferred to Coast Teaching and Referral Hospital for further treatment. Jerono confirmed that three individuals were shot, several others were injured, and three motor vehicles were damaged during the incident. Police have launched an investigation to identify those responsible for disrupting the meeting and firing shots.

Gladys Ochola, the mother of a 24-year-old man who sustained gunshot wounds, expressed her concern over the excessive use of force by the Governor's security detail.",
