The Ashanti Regional Police Command has initiated a formal manhunt for a group of unidentified gunmen linked to the fatal shooting of a prominent businessman. Preliminary reports indicate that the incident occurred at the victim's residence in Kumasi during the late hours of Tuesday evening. The perpetrators reportedly fled the scene immediately after the encounter.
Officers arriving at the location found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency medical services were summoned but the businessman was pronounced dead shortly after the arrival of first responders. The body has since been transported to a morgue for a forensic examination as part of the ongoing homicide investigation.
Intelligence officers are currently processing the crime scene for physical evidence and interviewing potential witnesses. While the motive behind the attack remains unconfirmed investigators are exploring various leads to determine if the incident was a targeted assassination or a robbery attempt gone wrong. No arrests have been made at this stage of the inquiry.
The regional police spokesperson has appealed to the public for cooperation and requested that anyone with credible information come forward. Security patrols have been intensified within the neighborhood to reassure residents and prevent further escalations of violence. Updates will be provided as more details regarding the suspects and their vehicle emerge.
