25-Year-Old Lupita Nyongo Look-Alike Shot Dead In Umoinner Matatu By Fellow Passenger (Photos)

One wouldn’t even imagine such kind of incident can happen in a matutu. I mean we only see such occurrences in movies.

The festive season has come with its share of headache; increased cases of crime. Mercy Atieno was killed in Ummoinner matatu heading to town on Saturday night.

The young lady was robbed of her life when she tried to confront fellow passenger who had snatched her mobile phone.

Mercy thought the thug who was masquerading as a passenger was alone and unarmed when she decided to confront him. The gangster’s accomplice stood up and fired at a close range killing Mercy on the spot.

The carjackers then disappeared after the incident and there are no reports whether the police have managed to apprehend them.

Mercy’s death is not the first case of violent crime in Umoja, the area has been grappling with increased cases of violent crimes.
