The Ashanti Regional Police Command has launched investigations into a fatal shooting incident that occurred on the evening of Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at Asawase F-Line, a suburb of Kumasi.
According to a statement signed by DSP Godwin Ahianyo, Head of the Public Affairs Unit, the victim—a middle-aged man—was attacked by two unidentified assailants riding separate motorbikes.
The assailants reportedly approached the victim at close range and opened fire before fleeing the scene.
The victim was initially rushed to the Manhyia District Hospital and later transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His body has since been deposited at the Ebenezer Mortuary in Tafo for autopsy.
A team led by the Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe, and Regional Crime Officer, ACP Ebenezer Boyor, visited the crime scene. Two empty shells suspected to be from an AK-47 rifle were recovered.
