That evening, Were left Parliament Buildings around 7 p.m. in the company of his driver and bodyguard. They first headed to City Hall Way, then onto Wabera Street.
At Wabera, the MP’s bodyguard briefly left the car to deposit Ksh 20,000 at a nearby M-Pesa shop. Unknown to them, danger lurked close by.

CCTV footage captured a suspicious man monitoring the MP’s car while parked at Wabera Street. The man’s identity remains unknown, but his every move was cold and calculated.
At around 7:30 p.m., Were’s team left Wabera, heading toward Kenyatta Avenue. To avoid traffic, they switched to Ralph Bunche Road, then onto Argwings Kodhek Road.

Moments later, horror struck. The suspect jumped off a motorcycle, quickly circled the MP’s car, and opened fire at close range.
“The first bullet shattered the window,” a detective revealed.
“The other shots struck Were’s hand and chest.”
The bodyguard bravely tried to pursue the killers but failed. Left with no choice, he rushed Were to Nairobi Hospital. Tragically, Were was pronounced dead on arrival.
Hunt for Killer Intensifies
DCI officers are now working around the clock, analyzing CCTV footage and following fresh leads. Kenyans are demanding justice, as grief turns to anger.
The nation waits with bated breath, hoping the killers will be brought to book soon.
