Quick look at what they posted on social media and the weapons used to nearly kill Kenyan hawker"},"content":{"rendered":"<p data-start=\"94\" data-end=\"423\"><em data-start=\"94\" data-end=\"127\">NAIROBI, Kenya \u2013 June 17, 2025:<\/em> Nairobi\u2019s Central Business District descended into chaos as protests erupted over the death of blogger Albert Ojwang\u2019 in police custody. Amid the unrest, 22-year-old hawker Boniface Kariuki was shot in the head near Imenti House\u2014a moment captured on video that has since fueled national outrage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"425\" data-end=\"614\">Kariuki, who sells face masks on the streets, is now in critical but stable condition at Kenyatta National Hospital after undergoing emergency surgery to remove a projectile from his skull.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"616\" data-end=\"999\">In response to the public outcry, authorities have arrested and interdicted two General Service Unit (GSU) officers: <strong data-start=\"733\" data-end=\"776\">Police Constables Klinzy Barasa Masinde<\/strong> (Service No. 119413) and <strong data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"820\">Duncan Kiprono<\/strong> (Service No. 117193). Both were stationed in Nairobi, with Barasa serving at Kayole Police Station and possessing five years of experience in crowd control and counter-terrorism.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1057\"><strong data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1057\">Barasa Identified Through Social Media Footprint<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1523\">Barasa quickly became the primary suspect after Kenyans on social media identified him from viral footage, despite his balaclava. Observers matched a distinct Jamaican wristband and Kenyan flag bracelet seen in the video with photos on Barasa\u2019s active TikTok and Facebook profiles (@batarizahke and <em data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1377\">Climzy Bantarizah<\/em>). His Instagram, which features over 1,000 followers, includes images of him in uniform\u2014one captioned, <em data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1523\">\u201cI can\u2019t fix stupid, but I can cuff it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1827\">Angry users flooded his accounts with condemnation, and several screenshots\u2014including one of him in uniform\u2014have been widely shared online. His marital status remains unclear, though archived photos from 2021 show him in the company of women, including one taking a selfie while he was on a phone call.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1829\" data-end=\"1867\"><strong data-start=\"1833\" data-end=\"1867\">The Shooting and Legal Defense<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1869\" data-end=\"2070\">According to eyewitnesses and video evidence, Kariuki collapsed outside Imenti House after being hit by what appeared to be a round from a Stoeger P3000 pump-action shotgun, reportedly fired by Barasa.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2459\">Barasa\u2019s lawyer, <strong data-start=\"2089\" data-end=\"2113\">Felix Kiprono Keaton<\/strong>, has denied his client\u2019s involvement, citing mistaken identity. He questioned the reliability of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations\u2019 (DCI) methods, suggesting the identification could be based on AI-generated images. Keaton also called for the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) to take over the case, citing potential bias.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2461\" data-end=\"2505\"><strong data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"2505\">Weapon of Concern: The Stoeger P3000<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2507\" data-end=\"2763\">The Stoeger P3000, a Turkish-made 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, has raised eyebrows among security experts. Commonly used in tactical scenarios, the weapon has a 4+1 shell capacity and can fire both 2\u00be-inch and 3-inch rounds, including buckshot and slugs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2765\" data-end=\"3041\">While often loaded with rubber pellets or beanbags during crowd control, the use of 00 buckshot\u2014nine pellets per round\u2014makes it dangerously lethal. Its lack of serial markings on projectiles complicates forensic tracing, leading to widespread criticism of its use in policing.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3043\" data-end=\"3086\"><strong data-start=\"3047\" data-end=\"3086\">Mounting Pressure on Police Service<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3088\" data-end=\"3305\">Kariuki\u2019s shooting has intensified scrutiny of the National Police Service (NPS), which expressed regret over the incident. However, many Kenyans remain skeptical, citing the country\u2019s long history of police impunity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3307\" data-end=\"3539\">The <strong data-start=\"3311\" data-end=\"3341\">Law Society of Kenya (LSK)<\/strong> has gone further, accusing elements within the police of colluding with criminals to suppress dissent, especially during peaceful protests. The DCI\u2019s Homicide Unit is now leading the investigation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3541\" data-end=\"3639\">Meanwhile, Barasa and Kiprono are being held at Capitol Hill Police Station, awaiting arraignment.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3641\" data-end=\"3665\"><strong data-start=\"3645\" data-end=\"3665\">A Nation on Edge<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3667\" data-end=\"3943\">The shooting of Boniface Kariuki, along with the suspicious death of Albert Ojwang\u2019, has amplified demands for police reform and accountability.
