According to a report by Starr FM the incident occurred during a confrontation over a disputed plot of land in the Central Region. The deceased individual was reportedly caught in the crossfire during the heat of the disagreement.
The Ghana Police Service confirmed through preliminary reports that the two injured victims were rushed to a nearby medical facility for urgent treatment. Citi Newsroom reported that the identities of the victims have not been officially released as the police continue their initial forensic investigations at the scene of the crime. Evidence of the struggle remained visible as law enforcement cordoned off the specific area involved in the dispute.
Officers from the Kasoa Divisional Police Command have intensified patrols in the Millennium City enclave to prevent any retaliatory attacks. A report by GhanaWeb stated that the police are currently pursuing several suspects who fled the scene after the fatal shooting. Residents in the vicinity expressed concerns to media outlets regarding the recurring nature of land guard activities and the threat to public safety in the region.
The Central Regional Police Command has urged members of the public to provide any information that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrators.
