He told hivisasa on phone that the man was a suspected thief who was nabbed stealing police clothes from a cloth line.
"He was found stealing clothes from a cloth line, he was stacking them in a gunia. They were not many seems he had just began," said Ong'ombe.
He said that when the man was spotted by one of the officers he was ordered to stop but took off and that's when he was shot.

Moses Kilonzo the deceased's brother said that the reports are false because his brother has never stolen anything.
"My brother was not a thief as the police are claiming," said Kilonzo.
He said that he had no idea why his brother was at the scene at the time of the incident.
