Police have said Mukisa would often return home late. However, on the night of the incident, he arrived at the apartment parking lot at approximately 11 pm.
“After parking his dark blue Subaru Legacy with registration number UBJ 006K, he proceeded to close the gate. It was during his return to the apartment that neighbors heard gunshots, prompting them to investigate the commotion,” Owoyesigyire said.
Neighbours have said an unidentified individual was seen shooting at Mukisa before briefly withdrawing. He then returned and shoot him multiple times in the head at close range.
As it is the trend, Mukisa’s killers fled the scene on a waiting motorcycle taking unknown direction.
Police from Kajjansi police station took immediate action upon receiving the report of the incident.
“A team was dispatched to the scene, followed by the introduction of canines to aid in the investigation. Despite their efforts, the scent was lost along the way,”ASP Owoyesigyire said.
Police’s thorough search of the area led to the recovery of four projectiles and cartridges. Mukisa body was subsequently retrieved and transported to the City Mortuary for postmortem examination.
Katwe and Kajjansi police station are currently conducting inquiries to gather further information and establish the motive behind this heinous crime.
“We assure the public that every effort is being made to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice,” ASP Owoyesigyire said.
Police have urged anyone with relevant information regarding this incident to come forward and assist the police in their investigation.
