Businessman shot dead outside his house in Parklands, Nairobi

A 36-year-old businessman was trailed and shot dead outside his gate in Parklands area, Nairobi.

Detectives said they are looking for the gunmen and motive for the shooting of Sagar Panara, who is an employee at MART Networks.

There are claims he was killed over a land deal in Narok.

Police said he was shot dead by unknown assailants in what appears to be a targeted attack on Tuesday, September 24, evening.

According to police, Panara was shot as he returned home from a sports club, raising the possibility that he was being trailed.

He was driving a white Toyota Corolla when the attackers ambushed him at the entrance to his residential compound.

After a brief altercation, the assailants shot Panara in the neck, just below her right ear, and fled the scene.

Neighbors and police officers responded to the gunshots, rushing Panara to Aga Khan Hospital, where he passed away while receiving emergency treatment.

Panara’s wife, Nejal Panara, confirmed that he had arrived moments after returning from the sports club.

Police said they found six ominous leaflets left behind by the attackers at the scene.
