The Ashanti Regional Police Command has initiated an investigation into the fatal shooting of a businessman at his residence in Kumasi. According to a report by 3News, the incident occurred during the early hours of Thursday morning when unidentified gunmen allegedly attacked the victim at his home.
Police officials in the region stated that the deceased was targeted in what appears to be a violent assault within the capital of the Ashanti Region. While the identity of the businessman has not been officially released by the Ghana Police Service, local residents reported hearing gunfire before the suspects fled the scene.
A Citi Newsroom report indicates that investigators have visited the crime scene to gather forensic evidence and witness statements. Police have urged members of the public to provide any information that could lead to the arrest of the individuals responsible for the killing. The body of the deceased has reportedly been deposited at a morgue for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
At this stage of the inquiry, the motive behind the shooting remains unclear. The Ghana Police Service has not confirmed whether any valuables were stolen from the premises during the attack. Security at the location has been intensified while the Ashanti Regional Police Command continues its search for the perpetrators as part of a wider effort to address violent crime in the area.
