The Ashanti Regional Police Command has launched an investigation following a fatal shooting incident that occurred on the evening of Monday, 22nd July 2025, at Asawase F-Line in the regional capital, Kumasi.
According to a statement issued by the Police, preliminary findings indicate that a middle-aged man was shot and killed by two unidentified assailants.
The suspects, both riding separate motorbikes, reportedly approached the victim at close range and opened fire before fleeing the scene.
The victim was initially rushed to the Manhyia District Hospital for emergency treatment but was later transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he was sadly pronounced dead.
His body has since been deposited at the Ebenezer Mortuary in Tafo for autopsy.
In response to the attack, the Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Mr Emmanuel Teye-Cudjoe, together with the Regional Crime Officer, ACP Mr Ebenezer Boyor, and a team of officers, visited the scene to assess the situation.
During their inspection, two spent shells, suspected to have been fired from an AK-47 assault rifle, were recovered and documented as evidence.
The Police Command has assured the public that every effort is being made to track down the perpetrators of what they describe as a “heinous crime”.
“We urge members of the public to remain calm and cooperate with the Police by providing any information that could assist in the ongoing investigation,” the statement added.
Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact the nearest police station or call the emergency lines: 191, 18555, or 112.
